The relationship of discrimination (row 2) on depression, state-anxiety, and perceived stress (columns 1-3, respectively), holding certain covariates constant (row 3-7). Each cell contains the pooled beta, with stars indicating significance level (*** p < 0.001; ** p < 0.01; * p < 0.05) and pooled robust standard errors in the parentheses. R2, the pooled coefficient of determination indicating how much variation in mental health is explained by the predictor and control variables, is also presented. Each model is run on a sample size of 216. Model comparison calculated from 5 imputed data sets against their respective null models produced the following pooled (F-statistics; p-values): depression (1.302, 0.230), state anxiety 1.039; 0.406), perceived stress (1.528; 0.133).
