Repeated measures regression analyses of the relation between alliance and both prior and subsequent symptom change.

Predictor (s)	Dependent variable	Model	Parameter estimate (b)	Standard Error (SE)	t-value	p-value
Alliance	Subsequent symptom change	1: Basic Model	−.08	.03	−2.69	.008
Prior symptom change	Subsequent symptom change	2: Covarying Prior CES-D Change & Expectancies	.59	.17	3.56	.001
Expectancies			−.17	.08	−2.14	.035
Alliance			−.05	.03	−1.71	.090
Prior symptom change	Alliance	3: Basic Model	.49	.12	4.10	.000
Expectancies	Alliance	4: Covarying Expectancies	.60	.17	3.58	.001
Prior symptom change			.45	.12	3.78	.000

Note: Alliance = Working Alliance Inventory; Subsequent symptom change = A vector of lagged CES-D scores (i.e., CES-D at the timepoint subsequent to the alliance assessment), with CES-D scores at the previous timepoint (T-1) entered as a covariate. Prior symptom change = CES-D symptom change prior to alliance assessment. Degrees of freedom (df) for model 1 (df = 106), model 2 (df = 104) and model 3 (df = 222) and model 4 (df = 222). Unstandardized estimates (b), standard errors (SE) and both t-values and p-values are provided. In models 1 and 2, negative t values reflect a predictor variable being related to larger improvements in symptom scores. In models 3 and 4, positive t values reflect a predictor variable being associated with higher alliance scores.
