a
Values represent B values for structural circumstance variables in Table 4 Model 2a.
b
Values represent indirect point estimates from bootstrapping analyses with 1,000 samples, controlling for other structural circumstance variables and covariates.
c
Values represent the ratio of indirect relationship point estimates to the original B value (i.e., proportion of total relationship that is mediated). Bold values indicate confidence intervals that do not contain zero.
