Values are unstandardized regression coefficients with standard errors in parentheses. Models are adjusted for the following covariates: age; relationship status; cancer stage; and treatment at 9 months (radiation, chemotherapy, and endocrine therapy). ER =emotion regulation; IAT-L = Implicit Association Test for Loneliness (Nausheen et al., 2007); EAC = Emotional Approach Coping scales, Emotional Expression and Emotional Processing subscales (Stanton et al., 2000). LIWC = Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (Pennebaker et al., 2007). CES-D = Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale (Radloff, 1977). All variables measured at 9 month assessment, except depressive symptoms, measured at 12 month assessment.
