Figure 2.

Steiger’s Z* revealed differential relations between C-reactive protein (CRP) and depressive symptoms (top) and CRP and anxiety symptoms (bottom), where no relation exists between the former and a slightly negative relation appears between the latter. While these relations were not significant, the difference in correlation coefficients was significant, indicating that there is a differential relation between inflammation and trauma-related psychopathology. All Y axes reflect concentration of CRP in pg/mL. X axes reflect self-reported symptom severity scores for the HSCL-depression index (range: 0–4) (top) and HSCL-anxiety index (range: 0–4) (bottom).
