Note. a is the unstandardized coefficient for the association between initial MINE or increased MINE and perceived benefits. b is the unstandardized coefficient for the association between perceived benefits and distress outcomes. c is the unstandardized coefficient for the association between initial MINE or increased MINE and distress outcomes. c’ is the unstandardized coefficient for the association between initial MINE or increased MINE and distress outcomes, controlling for perceived benefits.
