Recorded sources

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Self-compassion can make people lazy?

Unclear. Several studies indicate self-compassion is linked to greater motivation to improve after setbacks and to adaptive beliefs about failure, which runs counter to the idea that it makes people lazy. However, these findings are indirect and none directly measures laziness or effort reduction.
