Unstandardized path coefficients were used in computing the indirect effects. 99CI = 99% confidence intervals; coping = coping motives; enhancement = enhancement motives; social = social motives; conformity = conformity motives; use = alcohol use; problems = alcohol-related problems.

^*Significant indirect effect (i.e., confidence interval does not include zero).
