Pregnancy anxiety predicting cortisol trajectories adjusting for state anxiety and perceived stress

Parameters Estimate SE p - value
Intercept (initial status at 19 weeks) 1.647 .03 <.001

Linear slope (gestational age) 0.036 .00 <.001
    BP Pregnancy Anxiety 0.011 .00 .032
    BP State Anxiety −0.002 .01 .73
    BP Perceived Stress 0.003 .01 .55
Time collected −.097 .01 <.001
Within-Person Pregnancy Anxiety 0.096 .06 .094
Within-Person State Anxiety −0.053 .04 .21
Within-Person Perceived Stress 0.038 .04 .35
Variances/Covariances Estimate SE
    Intercept variance .148 .02
    Covariance −.005 .00
    Slope variance .000 .00

Note: N = 447 in this model because of one case with missing state anxiety. Between- person variables represent means across all 4 assessments. Within-person variables represent the deviation from each woman's individual mean at each assessment.
