Step 3.
Modeling support → child MVPAb	2.41 (1.09)	0.23, 4.60	0.031

Indirect (Mediation) effects:
Indirect effect 1 (nurturance → modeling → child MVPA)	0.27 (0.16)	0.04, 0.70c
Indirect effect 2 (nurturance → logistic → child MVPA)	0.34 (0.22)	−0.02, 0.83c
Total indirect effect	0.61

Note. All models are adjusted for child gender, parent's gender, index of multiple deprivation, and child BMI z-score.

Abbr. CI = confidence interval. SE = standard error. MVPA = moderate to vigorous physical activity.

^aRobust SE is adjusted for clustering.

^bAlso adjusted for parental nurturance and the other mediator.

^cBias-corrected 95% CI.
