Inferential statistics used for the data analysis include descriptive statistics and independent sample t-test. The result revealed that there was significant difference between men and women with respect to self-compassion (t = -2.99, p < .01) and job satisfaction (t = -4.03, p <.01). However, no significant gender difference was found on the scores of stress.
