FIGURE 1.

Simultaneous models testing husbands’ risk index as a mediator between husbands’ depression history and husbands’ family-of-origin relational problems with wives’ risk index. H = husband, W = wife. Bold lines indicate significant paths, broken lines indicate non-significant paths. The indirect effect from family-of-origin relational problems via husbands’ risk to wives’ risk was significant at the 5% alpha level (b = .06, β = .05, t = 1.76, 95% CI: .01, .15) but not at the 1% alpha level (99% CI: −.01, .16), whereas the effect of depression history via husbands’ risk to wives’ risk was significant at the 1% alpha level (b = .19, β = .06, t = 2.58, 99% CI: .03, .42). Error terms have been omitted from the figure for greater clarity.
