Relationship between independent and dependent variables in path analyses

Independent variables		Dependent variables	Estimate (β)	95% CI	p-value
Quality of life	----- ->	Life satisfaction	0.58	0.53, 0.63	< 0.001
Depression	----- ->	Quality of life	-0.24	-0.37, -0.12	< 0.001
Anxiety	----- ->	Life satisfaction	0.06	-0.04, 0.17	0.233
Stress	----- ->	Life satisfaction	-0.11	-0.21, -0.01	0.040
Depression	----- ->	Anxiety	0.87	0.85, 0.89	< 0.001
Depression	----- ->	Stress	0.50	0.44, 0.56	< 0.001
Anxiety	----- ->	Stress	0.45	0.39,0.51	< 0.001
Stress	----- ->	Quality of life	-0.14	-0.27,-0.02	0.021

The arrow (----- ->) represents the direct causal path from the independent variable to the dependent variable. “Standardized Estimate (β)” represents the standardized regression coefficient, indicating the strength and direction of the relationship between the independent and dependent variables
