Regression of demographics, caregiver status and (A) positive and (B) negative religious coping (RCOPE) scores on daily cortisol slope scores.

(A)				Step 1			Step 2			Step 3

	R²	R² change	Sig. F Change	Partial r	t(β)	p	Partial r	t(β)	p	Partial r	t(β)	p

Step 1: (df = 2, 67)	.026	.026	.408
Positive RCOPE				.152	1.258	.213	.238	1.987	.051	.222	1.821	.073
Caregiver status				−.025	−.208	.836	.195	1.616	.111	.176	1.431	.157

Step 2: (df = 1, 66)	.069	.042	.089
Positive RCOPE × Caregiver status							−.208	−1.727	.089	−.182	−1.482	.143

(B)				Step 1			Step 2			Step 3

	R²	R² change	Sig. F Change	Partial r	t(β)	p	Partial r	t(β)	p	Partial r	t(β)	p

Step 1: (df = 2, 67)	.008	.008	.763
Negative RCOPE				.068	.556	.580	−.168	−1.388	.170	−.209	−1.708	.092
Caregiver status				−.055	−.451	.653	−.172	−1.415	.162	−.186	−1.513	.135

Step 2: (df = 1, 66)	.048	.040	.100
Negative RCOPE × Caregiver status							.201	1.669	.100	.235	1.938	.057
