Table 4. Total effects of sex, direct effects of sex, and effects of sex mediated by autonomy components.
The mediated effects are tested using the Sobel z test.
| Depression. | Anxiety | Thinness | Bulimia. | Body dis-satisfaction | Anti-social pers. disorder | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total effect | .048 | .106 | .579 | .214 | .899 | -.251 |
| Direct effect | -.0002# | .003# | .443 | .133 | .798 | -.221 |
| Mediated by SO | .018 z = 7.55 |
.060 z = 10.36 |
.101 z = 9.05 |
.038 z = 5.38 |
.035 z = 2.76 |
-.042 z = 5.42 |
| Mediated by SA | .016 z = 8.36 |

# Not statistically significant at p <.01
Note SO = sensitivity to others; SA = self-awareness; CMNS = capacity for managing new situations
