Table 4.

Moderating effects of virtuousness at baseline on happiness and depressive symptoms.

	PC comparison		Separate analyses
	SS vs. PC	LS vs. PC	SS	LS	PC
df	251	251	116	116	134
Happiness	-0.44	1.19	1.07	3.16∗∗	1.57
Depression	0.52	-1.97∗	-0.73	-3.98∗∗∗	-1.76

All values are t-scores. PC comparison = virtuousness × condition (0 = placebo control condition, 1 = signature/lesser strengths-intervention) as predictor of the happiness/depression scores after the intervention (all follow-ups averaged), when controlling for pretest scores in happiness/depression and virtuousness; separate analyses = prediction of happiness/depression scores after the intervention (all follow-ups averaged) by virtuousness when controlling for pretest scores in happiness/depression, for each condition separately; SS, signature strengths-intervention; LS, lesser strengths-intervention; PC, placebo control condition.

^∗p < 0.05; ^∗∗p < 0.01; ^∗∗∗p < 0.001 (two-tailed).
