Note:

The variables that are left aligned are Level-1 (report: within-subject) variables and those that are right aligned are Level-2 (individual: between-subject) variables and cross-level interaction terms. Proportion of Stressful Event.

Reports: this variable was multiplied by 100 before being entered into the model in order to interpret the changes in estimate or odds ratio per 1% increment in the proportion of the stressful event reports. Radom Slope: Specified as a random coefficient. All other predictors were treated as fixed to facilitate model convergence.

t-1 = Report 15 minutes and 12 hours preceding index report

t0 = Index report

t1 = Report 15 minutes to 12 hours after index report

a

Mean affect when all variables in the model are at zero (for the continuous variables, zero reflects the overall mean).

b

In order to test the b paths, negative affect and positive affect at index were first entered into the model (presented as main effects) and then cross-level interactions between depressive symptoms (level 2) and affect (level 1) were entered into the model. For simplicity, the other variables in the model are not presented.
