Testing Whether Effects of the Intervention on Diverse Outcomes Were Mediated by Changes in Perception of Being Able to Relax When Desired (MOCS relaxation)
| Dependent variable | Initial effect of condition on slope (z) | Effect of condition on slope (z) with control for MOCS Relaxation slope | Chi-square (df = 1, N = 199) difference and p for change in model fit when condition path set to 0 |
