Square root (SQRT) transformed Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales (DASS) scores by group. Numbers in figures represent Cohen's d effects. Errors bars represent standard error.

a) DASS scores for respondents with no mental disorder versus a mood disorder. No group*gender interactions evident. Bars represent estimated marginal means adjusting for age, gender and momentary affect. Blue lines represent main effects of group.

b) DASS scores for respondents with depressive disorder versus bipolar disorder. Group*gender interactions were not evident for these variables. Bars represent estimated marginal means adjusting for age, gender and momentary affect. Blue lines represent main effects of group.

c) Gender*group interactions for depressive disorder versus bipolar disorder. Bars represent estimated marginal means adjusting for age and momentary affect. Blue lines represent gender differences in the bipolar disorder group (p≤.05 corrected [Tukey]). Cohens d= 0.02 vs. 0.08 for males vs females with depressive disorder and d=0.44 vs 0.36 for males and females with bipolar disorder.
