The moderation of communication from allomothers on ethnic discrimination (row 11-13) on depression, state-anxiety, and perceived stress (column 1-3, respectively), holding certain main effects (rows 2-5) and covariates (rows 6-10) constant. Each cell contains a pooled beta, with stars indicating the significance level (*** p < 0.001; ** p < 0.01; * p < 0.05) and robust standard errors in the parentheses. Each model was run on a sample of N = 216. R2 is presented. Model comparisons calculated from 5 imputed data sets against their respective null models produced the following pooled F-statistics and p-values (respectively) for depression (3.669; <0.0001), state-anxiety (2.655; 0.005), and perceived stress (2.788; 0.003).
