Note. The intercept for the model was 1.67. The R2 of the model was .21, F(14, 677) = 12.45, p < .05. The R2 of the same model, excluding attachment-related avoidance as a covariate, was .13. Boldface is used to highlight statistically significant predictors. Gender was coded as 0 for female and 1 for male. Ethnicity was coded as 1 for White/non-Hispanic and 0 otherwise.
