Self-compassion and self-concept clarity mediated by resilience: variable-centered and person-centered approaches.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Self-concept clarity is an important factor in the mental health of college students. While existing research has examined the positive relationship between self-compassion (self-kindness, mindfulness, and common humanity) and self-concept clarity, the mechanisms underlying this relationship need further investigation. This study aimed to integrate variable- and person-centered approaches to examine the relationship between self-compassion and self-concept clarity and explore the possible mediating role of resilience. Methods: Data from 1,353 Chinese college students were collected in December 2023 using the revised Chinese versions of the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS), Self-Concept Clarity Scale (SCCS), and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale-10 (CD-RISC-10). Simple mediation and latent profile analyses were performed using SPSS 26.0 and Mplus 7.0. Results: The variable-centered analysis showed that resilience played a mediating role in the relationship between self-compassion and self-concept clarity and between the three components of self-compassion and self-concept clarity. When resilience was included in the mediation model, common humanity had the strongest direct effect on self-concept clarity, and resilience played the strongest mediating role in the mindfulness pathway. As a further supplement to variable-centered results, person-centered analysis showed that the sample could be classified into three latent profiles, with the high self-compassion profile showing the highest resilience and self-concept clarity. Additionally, when the low self-compassion profile was used as the reference, resilience still played a relatively mediating role in the vulnerable and high profiles, but a direct relationship between self-compassion and self-concept clarity was only found in the high-profile. Conclusion: This study highlights the important role of self-compassion and resilience in promoting self-concept clarity and necessitates the design of subgroup-specific intervention programs for students in the future.
