assignment, you will introduce the reader the importance of
studying self–perceived stress and why the two variables social support and self–
compassion might be good predictors of stress. You will run two sets of
correlational analysis and discuss the implications of the results:
1. Social support score (X) vs. Self–perceived stress score (Y)
2. Self–compassion score (X) vs. Self–perceived stress score (Y)

for individuals. You will write this paper with the perspective of the researcher.
