FIGURE 1.

Structural equation model depicting associations between stress, different types of coping, and life satisfaction. Factor loadings, standardized path coefficients between latent constructs, and correlations between their residuals are presented. The model revealed that stress influences life satisfaction directly but also indirectly through withdrawal coping as a mediator (standardized indirect effect: −0.05**). Model fit: χ² ₍₁₇₇₎ = 1613.85**, goodness-of-fit-index = 0.92, Comparative Fit Index = 0.91, Tucker-Lewis Index = 0.89, root mean square error of approximation = 0.067 (90% CI = 0.064 to 0.070), standardized root mean squared residual = 0.056; N = 1830; *p < 0.05, **p < 01
