99% Confidence Interval for indirect effect does not include 0. NS = Not significant; 99% Confidence Interval for indirect effect includes 0.
†
Examined in women only due to significant gender difference in the effect of Nonjudging on Anger Expression where the simple effect of nonjudging was not significant in men. Possible indirect pathways were identified as those that showed both a significant A path (mindfulness facet to mediator) and a significant B path (mediator to anger expression subscale). Estimates of indirect effects are based on standardized estimates. VDT = Voodoo Doll Aggression Task. Anger Expression = State Trait Anger Expression Inventory Anger Out Subscale.
