Ideal life expectancy and subjective life expectancy discordance are predicted by covariates, fear of death, and fear of loneliness, as well as their interaction term in a stepwise procedure. Standardized regression weights β, unstandardized regression weights B, as well as their standard errors SE(B) are depicted for the final model including all predictor variables. ∆R² and related F-tests are depicted for the single steps
