Note: Results are from structural equation modeling. Pathway labels (letters) correspond to Figure 1 or indicate products of coefficients for indirect effects. Controls included in the models, but not shown in the table, include gender, age group, parental status, exempt status, income, tenure, occupational level, work hours (more than 50 per week), psychological job demands, decision authority, skill discretion, satisfaction with manager, supportive occupational environment, life change between waves, and job change between waves. The full table is available on request. Dashes indicate non-applicability.
