TABLE 3.

Decomposition of total, direct, and indirect effects in the full model.

	Effect	SE	Bootstrap 95% CI

direct effect	−0.17	0.07	[−0.37, 0.02]
indirect effect	−0.18	0.10	[−0.32, −0.02]
ppd ln_c
total effect	0.23	0.08	[0.07, 0.37]
direct effect	0.14	0.07	[−0.07, 0.37]
indirect effect	0.09	0.04	[0.009, 0.20]
pser er_c
total effect	0.02	0.11	[−0.22, 0.23]
direct effect	−0.18	0.10	[−0.38, 0.01]
indirect effect	0.20	0.06	[0.07, 0.33]
pser ln_c
total effect	−0.05	0.10	[−0.23, 0.15]
direct effect	0.02	0.10	[−0.17, 0.24]
indirect effect	−0.07	0.04	[−0.17, −0.003]

All effects are standardized coefficients. If the zero value is not included in the bootstrap 95% CI, the effect is significant at p < 0.05. ppd, parents’ psychological distress; pser, parents’ regulatory emotional self-efficacy; er_c, emotion regulation of children; ln_c, lability/negativity of children.
