Note. Total effects represent direct effect prior to controlling for mediators. Direct paths after controlling for mediators are listed on the last line of each section of the table (e.g., ECRanx <- BPD). Attachment avoidance and ASPD, and specific indirect effects of attachment avoidance and AvPD details were omitted for brevity because no significant effects were present. ECRanx = Experiences in Close Relationships Attachment Anxiety Scale. ECRav = Experience in Close Relationship Attachment Avoidance Scale. Paths for Attachment Avoidance and ASPD were omitted because no significant paths were present.
