Outcome		Mediator				Mediator
Psychological Distress		Rumination				Suppression

Block	Variable	Std β	SE	Final β	Block	Variable	Std β	SE	Final β
Block 1	IAT	6.20^*	2.76		Block 1	IAT	6.20^*	2.76
Block 2	Mediator	1.70^**	0.35		Block 2	Mediator	0.61^**	0.14
Block 3	IAT			5.04	Block 3	IAT			4.67^*
	Mediator			1.62^**		Mediator			0.60^**

Note. Std β is the standardized beta coefficient for that variable when its block is first entered into the equation. Final β is the standardized beta coefficient for that variable when both variables have been added to the equation.
