Therapeutic alliance as predictor of change in cognitive, affective, and behavioral outcomes.

Outcome	β [95% CI]	t	p-value
Days Smoked	−0.25 [−.58, .08]	−1.54	0.133
Smoking Abstinence	−0.20 [−.52, .14]	−1.17	0.248
Negative Affect (DASS)^a	−0.33 [−0.64, −0.02]	−2.13	0.040^*
Emotion Regulation (DERS)^a	−0.24 [−0.47, −0.01]	−2.11	0.042^*
Mindfulness (FFMQ)^a	0.33 [0.09, 0.57]	2.88	0.007^**
Minutes Meditated^a	0.39 [0.09, 0.68]	2.69	0.011^*

Note: n = 37 for all models; β = standardized regression coefficients for therapeutic alliance predicting outcomes,

β represents partial regression coefficient with pre-test scores simultaneously controlled; 95% confidence intervals are reported;

t = t-statistic from regression analyses; therapeutic alliance measured by Working Alliance Inventory Group Format.
