^aEstimates from ordinary least squares regression models; standardized coefficients are presented. ^bAll models control for age, education, income, wealth, marital status, and the year of interview. ^cSeparate models for each stressor. ^dSingle model including number of stressors in the highest-risk quartile. ^eSingle model of the collective effects of individual stressors and number of stressors in the highest risk quartile. ^fSeparate models for each social and personal resource. ^gSingle model including all five social and personal resources simultaneously. ^hFull model of the collective effects of all stressors and coping resources. ⁱFull model with collective effects and statistically significant interactions between stressors and resources. ^jFor the sake of concision, model fit statistics are not shown for the separate models (available upon request).
