Indirect Effects of Predictor Variables on Borderline Symptoms and Suicidality/Self-injury through Proposed Mediators

Bootstrapped Bias Corrected and Accelerated 95% CI
Indirect Effects Point Estimate (SE) Lower Upper Mediation
Predicting Borderline Symptoms
 Clinical referral through maternal withdrawal 0.45 (0.26) 0.06 1.14 Yes
 Maternal withdrawal through severity of abuse 0.02 (0.03) -0.04 0.09 No
 Maternal withdrawal through disorganized/controlling behavior 0.03 (0.03) - 0.02 0.10 No
Predicting Suicidality/Self-injury
 Maternal withdrawal through severity of abuse 0.07 (0.28) -0.80 0.40 No

Note. 1,000 bootstrap samples. Gender and major depression controlled. If the confidence intervals do not contain zero, the null hypothesis of lack of mediation is rejected.
