Table 2.

Direct and Indirect Effects of Rejection Sensitivity on Internalizing Symptoms

Outcome	Effect of rejection sensitivity without INT	Direct and indirect effects (via INT) of rejection sensitivity on symptom types
Outcome	Total effect of rejection sensitivity on symptom type	Direct effect	Indirect effect	% Total effect explained by indirect effect
Generalized anxiety	.22^**	−.08	.30^*	100.0
Social anxiety	.42^**	.16	.26^*	61.2
Posttraumatic stress	.93^**	.23	.70^*	75.1

Note. INT = latent internalizing symptom factor. The percentage for generalized anxiety exceeded 100% due to the negative direct effect of RS, but we refer to this value as 100% for clarity.
