Notes. T2 acute and chronic interpersonal stress generation were investigated in the same model (rs = .52–.56, ps < .001). IP = interpersonal. sx = symptoms. b = unstandardized coefficient. CI = confidence intervals. SE = standard error. β = standardized coefficient. The dashes show non-significant paths that were trimmed from the model. The covariates included in each model differ because non-significant paths between covariates and other variables in the model were trimmed. N = 126.
