FIGURE 2.

Simultaneous models testing wives’ risk index as a mediator between wives’ depression history and wives’ family-of-origin relational problems with husbands’ 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 wives’ risk to husbands’ risk (b = .06, β = .06, t = 2.05, 99% CI: .01, .16) was significant at the 1% alpha level, while the indirect effect from depression history via wives’ risk to husbands’ risk was not significant (b = .05, β = .02, t = .93, 99% CI: −.08, .24). Error terms have been omitted from the figure for greater clarity.
