Note. b is the estimated coefficient for the model parameter function of parent mood state on the hazard rate. Positive coefficients indicate a higher hazard rate or faster down regulation, and negative coefficients indicate a lower hazard or slower down regulation. The “faster” and “slower” terms are derived from the exponentiation of the coefficient, indicating the amount of change in the hazard rate for every 2-unit increase in parent self-reported hostile or depressive mood which relative to the sample mean on the BSI covers the difference between z-scores of −1 and +1.
