Left column: Path a for predictor X (migration status) to mediator M (self-concept) calculated according to Hayes [56], R2 and F-tests for differences to intercept-only model. Right column: Full model paths (c’, b1, b2, b3) in moderated mediation models with symptom scores of depression or anxiety as consequent as illustrated in Fig. 1 Panel B), adjusted R2 and F-test for differences to intercept-only model. See Results section for estimates on conditional effects. M, mediator. W, moderator. M × W, interaction effect. SE, standard error. Uncorrected p-values for estimates reflecting study hypotheses in bold, alpha-error corrected thresholds applied to indicate significance at ***p > .001, **p > .01, *p > .05
