Results and model of the mediation analysis in the second sample (n₂ = 468). BDI, depressive symptoms; COM, cognitive motivation; ESC, effortful self-control; Δ, latent change score (i.e., the change from t₁ to t₂). (A) Increasing cognitive motivation partially mediates the association between decreasing depressive symptoms and increasing self-regulation. The following unstandardized effects are displayed: total (direct effect without mediation) = ab (indirect mediating effect) + c (direct effect with mediator). (B) 95% confidence intervals of the unstandardized regression estimates, based on 1,000 bootstrap samples.
