Figure 2. SEM implemented on a path diagram.
The strength of the path coefficients between state anxiety scores and Pre FA in the right anterior Cg (−0.40, p<0.001) and between state anxiety scores and Post–Pre FA in the left anterior Cg (0.43, p<0.01) and the left Uf (0.29, p = 0.06) are shown. The path coefficient strength between Post–Pre FA in the left anterior Cg and the left Uf (0.65, p<0.005) are shown as well. The brain regions that predict state anxiety level evaluated by STAI are shown on the left. FA, fractional anisotropy; Rt, right; Lt, left; Cg, cingulum; Uf, uncinate fasciculus; STAI, State–Trait Anxiety Inventory.
