The p values are two-tailed; two stars mark p values below an alpha level of .05; one star marks p values below an alpha level of .10; df = 20 in each case; BDI = Beck Depression Inventory; ESE = explicit self-esteem; ISE = implicit self-esteem; SE = self-esteem; sign of self-esteem difference is coded as -1 = higher ISE than ESE and 1 = higher ESE than ISE; gender is coded as -1 = male and 1 = female; age in years; main diagnosis is coded as -1 = major depressive disorder and 1 = recurrent depressive disorder; treatment duration in weeks; alcohol abuse is coded as -1 = no and 1 = yes; suicidal ideation is coded as -1 = no and 1 = yes; main point of measurement is coded as 1 to 5 for BDI-1 to BDI-5.
