Linear regressions were conducted to estimate results (β = standardized coefficient; SE = standard error; t = Student’s t score; ΔR² = change in R² represents percentage of variance accounted for at each step; f² = Cohen’s f). Coefficients were derived from Step 5 of the final regression model. CDI = Children’s Depression Inventory; T1 = Time 1; Lunch = eligibility for free lunch; Time = days between T1 and T2; CLES = Children’s Life Events Scale; OGM = Number of overgeneral autobiographical memories; CRSQ = Rumination subscale of the Children’s Response Style Questionnaire; NLE = Number of negative life events. Lunch is coded with ineligible (0) and eligible (1) for free lunch. Sex is coded with female (0) and male (1). Race is coded with Caucasian (0) and African American (1)
