Significant moderated mediation and prediction models (see Fig. 1 for models)
Moderated Mediation (mediator interacts with treatment group)
| ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Dependent Variable | Mediator | X → M (a path) | X* M → Y (b2 path) | M → Y (b1 path) | indirect effect ACT (a*(b2 + b1)) | indirect effect CBT (a* b1) |
Social Anxiety Symptoms | AAQ curvature | .23*** (.12 to .34) | −2.7* (−5.1 − .36) | .23 (−1.7 to 2.2) | −.57** (−.97 to −.16) | .05 (−.39 to .50) |
Depressive Symptoms | AAQ curvature | .23*** (.12 to .33) | −75** (−118 to −32) | 39 (.89 to 77) | −8.2* (−16 to −.80) | 8.9 (−.76 to 18) |
Prediction (non-significant mediators)

Social Anxiety Symptoms | SSPS curvature | −2.0** (−3.2 to −.76) | ||||
Depressive Symptoms | SSPS curvature | −30* (−54 to −5.8) |
