I think we have "introspection/to examine oneself critically"
because of 反省

But I would say that in 反省,
省 means "to inspect/to examine/to be aware"
rather than "introspection"
because 反省 makes more sense as
"reverse direction" + "examination/awareness"
than
"reverse direction" + "introspection".

Diff:
- 省 省 [xing3] /introspection/to examine oneself critically/awareness/to visit (an elderly relative)/
+ 省 省 [xing3] /to inspect/to examine/to be aware/to pay a visit (to one's parents or elders)/
