Note: IV = independent variable; MO = moderator; MED1 = first mediator; MED2 = second mediator; BPS = borderline personality symptoms; EGO = ego-control; EMOT = emotion regulation; b = unstandardized beta. Each regression analysis controlled for depression and anxiety symptoms and delinquent behaviors (parameters not shown).
