Note. n = 100. Boldface type indicates significant effect, i.e. the 95% bootstrap confidence intervals do not cross zero. Regression coefficients presented are unstandardised B coefficients. All path estimates were calculated whilst controlling for associated covariates. All regression models were significant at the P<0.01 level.
