Summary of Main Effect Model Building Steps

Model AIC BIC Wald test of
parameters		 Summary of focal
significant effects
1. Base model. Affect and lability indirectly associated
with dependence via alcohol use.		 77644.81 — Lability -> +TNA
78246.72 TPA -> + Abstaining
TNA -> −Abstaining
PA -> + Consumption
PA -> −Abstaining
NA -> + Consumption
2. Test direct effects of NA to dependence at L1 and L2 77629.35 χ2(2) = 11.19 TNA -> + Dependence
78245.59 p = .0037 NA -> + Dependence
3. Add L2 lability direct effect to dependence 77626.86 χ2(1) = 5.20 Lability -> + Dependence
78250.27 p = .0226

Note. In Model 1 and 2, L2 (between person) effects are above, and L1 (within-person) effects below, the line. The remaining models are all L2 effects. The “+” and “−” signs indicate the sign of the coefficient. TPA = Trait Positive affect; TNA = Trait Negative Affect; NA = L1 Negative Affect; PA = L1 Positive Affect.
