Path diagram of the moderation effect of the AQ on the mediational relation between the SIAS, the ARS, and the three BPAQ variables, where AQ*ARS is the interaction term. To simplify the figure, nonsignificant paths; the direct paths between SIAS, AQ, and the three BPAQ variables; and the paths between gender, GPA, and the three BPAQ variables have been removed; included paths are significant at the 0.05 level. Standard errors are presented in parentheses.
AQ: Autism Spectrum Quotient; SIAS: Social Interaction Anxiety Scale; ARS: Anger Rumination Scale; BPAQ: Buss Perry Aggression Questionnaire; GPA: grade point average.
