Note. N = 286. MNWS = Minnesota Nicotine Withdrawal Scale; delay = length of delay to first cigarette (0–50 min); general maladjustment = single second-order latent factor of psychopathology; MASQ:GDD = Mood and Anxiety Symptom Questionnaire: General Distress Depression Scale; residual = portion of the MASQ:GDD that is independent from the latent factors. R2 = amount of variance explained in the index variable by all of the variables in the final mediation model. β = β weights (standardized regression coefficients). Significant findings are in bold. Paths that were not applicable or were omitted by the final model are not reported.
