Path Estimates for Structural Models

Predictor of depressive symptoms	Unstandardized path	S.E.	95% CI	Standardized path
Study 1
1. Self-esteem	−1.02	0.08	[−1.16,−0.87]	−.78*
2. Shame-proneness	0.58	0.79	[−0.97,2.13]	.04
Study 2
1. Self-esteem	−0.77	0.82	[−1.00,1.24]	−.56
2. Self-criticism	0.12	0.57	[−2.38,0.84]	.13

Note. For Study 1, the dependent variable consists of a latent depressive symptoms factor represented by three indicators: the Self-Rating Depression Scale, the Center for Epidemiological Studies – Depression Scale, and the Beck Depression Inventory-II. For study 2, the dependent variable is represented solely by the Beck Depression Inventory-II.
