Note. Solid lines represent statistically significant paths. Dotted lines represent nonsignificant paths. Indirect effects were .203 (95% CI [.057, .357]) and .158 (95% CI [.032, .269]) for anxiety and depression respectively. Path coefficients to the left of the “/” were for analysis using anxiety as mediator. Path coefficients to the right of the “/” were for analysis using depression as mediator. Age, gender, and education were entered as covariates in all analyses. * p < .05, ** p < .01, *** p < .001.
