^*p < .05,

^**p < .01,

^***p < .001,

^†p= .053. Bolded confidence intervals do not include zero, suggesting significant indirect effect.

Notes. Dependent variable= T3 depressive symptoms. T1 depressive symptoms, maternal depression, gender, and age at T3 entered as covariates in steps predicting DV. LS= low sociability, IO= interpersonal oversensitivity, SCS= social chronic stress.
