Table 4.

The moderating effect of executive function in the stress condition on the association between recent life stress exposure and health complaints is mediated by the perceived severity of recent life stressors.

Variable β p
Recent Life Stress Exposure −.12 .66
Recent Life Stress Perceived Severity .57 .04
Perseverative Errors −.02 .89
Condition .31 .07
Recent Life Stress Exposure × Perseverative Errors −.09 .82
Recent Life Stress Exposure × Condition −.26 .34
Recent Life Stress Exposure × Perseverative Errors × Condition .22 .64
Recent Life Stress Perceived Severity × Perseverative Errors −.10 .81
Recent Life Stress Perceived Severity × Condition .18 .63
Recent Life Stress Perceived Severity × Perseverative Errors × Condition .19 .68

Note: Significant effects are represented with a boldface p value. This test illustrates the final step in mediated moderation, as the mediator (Recent Life Perceived Stress Severity) is significant, whereas the former moderator (Recent Life Stress × Perseverative Errors × Condition) is no longer significant.
