Note. Bolded values are significant at p < .05; a2, c2, and e2 are the additive genetic (A), shared environmental (C), and non-shared environmental (E) variance components of marital status; bPhen and bPhen are the total and direct effects, respectively, of marital status on the phenotype; bA and bC are the indirect effects of marital status on the phenotype due to the A and C components of marital status.
