Cross-Sectional Structural Regression Models of the Effects of Chronic Stress, Episodic Stress, and Neuroticism on Depression

Chronic Stress
γ SEγ γ* SEγ*
Main effects (Model R2 = .58):
 CSI 0.60*** 0.08 .23*** .03
 N 0.69*** 0.03 .65*** .02
Interaction effect (Model R2 = .59, ƭ2 = .02):
 N × CSI 0.03*** 0.01 .69*** .18

Episodic Stress
Main effects (Model R2 = .54):
 ESI 0.14** 0.05 .08** .03
 N 0.76*** 0.03 .72*** .02
Interaction effect (Model R2 = .54, ƭ2 = .00):
 N × ESI 0.00 0.01 .01 .11

Note. CSI = chronic stress in the 6 months preceding the intake evaluation, N = neuroticism, ESI = episodic stress in the 6 months preceding the intake evaluation, γ = unstandardized path coefficient, γ*= completely standardized path coefficient.
