Multilevel Model Predicting Current Negative Affect From Reported and Lagged Forecasted Stressors and Age When No Stressor Was Previously Reported
| Variable | B coefficient | SE | p value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed effects | ||||
| Intercept | 18.60 | 1.54 | <.01 | |
| Currently reported stressor | 15.81 | 0.99 | <.01 | |
| Lagged forecasted stressor | 4.78 | 0.89 | <.01 | |
| Interaction between currently reported and lagged forecasted stressors | −0.73 | 1.33 | 0.58 | |
| Age | −0.10 | 0.10 | 0.30 | |
| Interaction between currently reported stressor and age | −0.21 | 0.09 | 0.02 | |
| Interaction between lagged forecasted stressor and age | −0.01 | 0.08 | 0.89 | |
| Interaction among currently reported stressor, lagged forecasted stressor, and age | −0.10 | 0.12 | 0.40 | |
| Proportion of reported stressor | 1.00 | 9.10 | 0.92 | |
| Proportion of forecasted stressor | 6.91 | 7.55 | 0.36 | |
| Prior (lagged) negative affect centered at day-mean negative affect | −0.24 | 0.01 | <.01 | |
| Random effects (variance components) | ||||
| Level 1 | Residual (within-person) | 102.68 | 2.02 | <.01 |
| Level 2 | Day | 44.38 | 2.58 | <.01 |
| Level 3 | Residual (between-person) | 242.54 | 23.41 | <.01 |
| Reported stressor | 138.08 | 18.94 | <.01 | |
| Lagged forecasted stressor | 33.35 | 9.77 | <.01 | |
| Covariance (residual, reported stressor) | −32.17 | 14.65 | 0.03 | |
| Covariance (residual, lagged forecasted stressor) | −15.18 | 12.05 | 0.21 | |
| Covariance (reported stressor, lagged forecasted stressor) | 14.16 | 11.63 | 0.22 | |
Note: NA = xxx. Age was included as a moderator in order to test for age differences. Age was centered at 45 years old and addressed as a continuous variable. Intercept, currently reported stressor, and lagged forecasted stressor were included as random effects.
