Table 9. Four Multinomial Logistic Regression Models Exploring the Likelihood of Belonging to One of Five Stress Trajectories According to Levels of Personality, Interpersonal Skills, Cultural Adaptation, and Coping Strategies, Controlling for Baseline Stress.

	Improvement in model fit		Rank order of stress trajectory likelihood
	χ²(4)	p	1	2	3	4	5
Note. JC = reverse J-curve; UC = inverse U-curve; MS = mild stress; MR = minor relief; RS = resilience. Comparisons between classes were only examined for variables that significantly improve model fit (at p < .01). Superscripts denote significant differences in likelihood (according to Wald χ² at p < .05).
