FIGURE 2.
Standardized path coefficients of the structural model for individuals with diabetes, evaluating the mediating role of body image disturbance for self-ideal discrepancy and personal investment on psychosocial outcome for individuals with diabetes (N (212). Age, gender, BMI, number of medical conditions, and diabetes related complications were included as covariates of all variables. Unmediated path coefficients for personal investment and self-ideal discrepancy on psychosocial outcome are presented in parentheses for comparison with the mediated path coefficients. The dotted line indicates full mediation in the mediational model. ∗p (0.05), ∗∗p (0.01).
