Abstract
Even in contexts where safety compliance is critical, not everyone complies with safety guidelines. To better understand why, we develop and test a theoretical model explaining how individuals can bolster the self-control capacity needed to remain compliant in contexts of crisis. Using Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, we propose that self-compassion can serve as a personal resource that supports safety compliance among working parents during crisis, such as COVID-19. We argue that self-control capacity mediates the relationship between self-compassion and safety compliance and explore gender as a moderator, given prior research suggesting gender differences in the experience and benefits of self-compassion. Using data collected from 387 working parents at three time points during the COVID-19 pandemic, our results show that self-control capacity mediates the link between self-compassion and safety compliance. Moreover, this relationship is stronger for working fathers than for working mothers. Our study highlights the importance of personal inner resources, like self-compassion, in promoting safety compliance, especially for working parents who may be more vulnerable to resource depletion during challenging times.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
