Note. N = 796 (642 CG students, 154 FG students). Confidence intervals are reported with a bootstrap sample size = 5000. LLCI = lower level of the 95% bootstrap percentile confidence interval; ULCI = upper level of the 95% bootstrap percentile confidence interval. Condition and generational status were coded such that Control = −1 and VA = 1; similarly, CG students = −1 and FG students = 1. Testing each mediator separately revealed conceptually analogous results.
