Note.

Effect Estimate = The mean of the indirect effect estimates calculated across 5000 bootstrap samples. SE = The standard deviation of the 5000 bootstrap estimates of the indirect effect. BCa 95% CI= Bias corrected and accelerated 95% confidence interval. Loneliness = The 3-Item Loneliness Scale; Stress = Perceived Stress Scale; Depressive Symptoms = Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression 10-item scale.
