The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) is a 10-item questionnaire originally developed by Cohen et al. (1983) widely used to assess stress levels in young people and adults aged 12 and above. It evaluates the degree to which an individual has perceived life as unpredictable, uncontrollable and overloading over the previous month.

The FCS-A assesses fear of compassion for self, fear of compassion for others, and fear of compassion from others and. It identifies barriers to giving compassion to oneself (15 items), to others (10 items), and receiving compassion from others (13 items). The items are rated on a five-point Likert scale (0 = Don't agree at all, 4 = Completely agree). The higher the score, the greater the one's fears, blocks and resistances to compassion.

The questionnaire uses a 7 point Likert scale ranging from 1 (not at all true of me) to 7 (very true of me) to capture levels of compassion. Total scores are derived by averaging all item scores. Higher total scores indicate higher levels of compassion for others (strangers). https://doi.org/10.1007/s12144-020-01344-5

The Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ-15) is a 15 question self-report scale that measures mindfulness with regards to thoughts, experiences, and actions in daily life (Baer, Carmody, & Hunsinger, 2012).

The scales can be used to measure beliefs about subjective controllability and competence expectations in various demanding situations, namely at school, in higher education, and in everyday life. The method is primarily intended for use in scientific research.

The BRS is a reliable means of assessing resilience as the ability to bounce back or recover from stress and may provide unique and important information. The BRS consists of six items. Items 1, 3, and 5 are phrased positively, while items 2, 4, and 6 are phrased negatively. The BRS is evaluated by recoding items 2, 4, and 6 and calculating the mean value of the six items.
