Note. Naming of paths coincides with traditional mediation terminology (Baron & Kenny, 1986). CI = confidence interval for the unstandardized beta estimates. In the Social Withdrawal model, maternal BIS sensitivity was included as a covariate in all steps. In the Age 5 Protective Behavior model, both maternal BIS sensitivity and SES were included as covariates in all steps.
