Path model for the effect of trauma exposure severity on various smoking processes, through the effects of negative affect and affect-regulatory smoking motives.
Notes: *p<.05, **p<.01; The model for each criterion variable was tested separately. B=Unstandardized regression coefficients; SE=standard error. Covariates in the model are not presented for ease of viewing. Notes: The total effects (‘path c’) of trauma exposure severity on outcomes are presented on the dashed lines. Direct effects of predictor and mediators variables are presented on solid lines. The conditional indirect effects (product of direct effects) were tested for sequential mediation, and are presented in text. All conditional indirect effects were significant.
