Note: For Intercept coefficients indicate differences in average mother positive affect, where the intercept is averaged across groups (mean-centered). C1 and C2 indicate contrasts of (a) control versus depressed and self-harm groups and (b) self-harm versus depressed groups, respectively. For Slope coefficients indicate differences in mother–daughter affect correspondence, where the intercept is averaged across groups (mean-centered). C1 and C2 indicate contrasts of (a) control versus depressed and self-harm groups and (b) self-harm versus depressed groups, respectively. Mother and daughter affect intensity ratings were smoothed (see Automated Coding section) and z-scored before modeling analyses.
