Note. Location sub-models estimated predictors of momentary ratings of feeling down or feeling anxious for a given individual in a given moment. Scale sub-models estimated the momentary degree of variability of depressed mood or anxiety for individual in moment. Lagged variables were person-mean-centered (Hamaker et al., 2015) so that a lagged parameter measures the effect of momentary deviations from one’s typical level of that symptom on the level or degree of variability of a given symptom at the next timepoint. Individual-level variation was measured by including random effects around all time-varying effects.
