95% confidence interval for indirect effects were generated using 10,000 bootstrap samples. Also refer to a mediation model diagram illustrated in Figure S1 (Supplement). Path a is a direct effect of X to M; Path b is a direct effect of M to Y; Path c’ is a direct effect of X to Y controlled for M; Path a*b is an indirect effect of X to Y through the mediator M; Path c is the total effect of X on Y.
