Note. n = 81 for models with at-worst variables including 15 and 33 with relapse/recurrence events within 8 and 24 months, respectively; n = 83 for models with at-best variables including 16 and 33 with relapse/recurrence events within 8 and 24 months, respectively. C–CT coded as 1=8 months of continuation phase cognitive therapy, 0 = 8 months of assessment-only control. Negative and positive betas, respectively, mark longer and shorter estimated time-to-relapse/recurrence of major depressive disorder. Effect size r values ≥ .10, .30, and .50 mark small, medium, and large effects, respectively (Cohen, 1988). A–CT = acute phase cognitive therapy; AFF = affiliation; AUT = autonomy; C–CT = continuation phase cognitive therapy.
