Figure 3 caption:
Our moderated mediation statistical framework is shown in this figure. We examined whether maltreatment (as assessed by the CTQ) was associated with internalizing symptoms (as assessed by the MASQ) in the context of recent life stress (as measured by the LESS). When differences in VS-mPFC connectivity were entered into this model, the relation between stress exposure and internalizing symptoms was significantly reduced. Non-parametric bootstrapped models indicated this VS-mPFC connectivity mediated 10.3% of this association.
