p = 0.07, p < 0.05, ∗∗∗p < 0.001, Path A, relationship between independent variable (IV) and mediator; Path B, relationship between mediator and dependent variable (DV), controlling for IV; Path C’, direct effect of IV on DV, controlling for mediator. Lower, lower bound of confidence interval; Point, point estimate; Upper, upper bound of confidence interval. Indirect effect is significant if confidence interval does not include zero. CFC, consideration of future consequences.
