Standardized indirect effects of stress of COVID-19 on anxiety.

Parameter	Indirect effect	SE	p	95% CI
(a) Stress → EI → Anxiety	0.430 × 0.258 = 0.106	0.099	0.001	0.049, 0.360
(b) Stress → MHL → Anxiety	−0.390 × −0.154 = 0.060	0.034	0.046	0.001, 0.139
(c) Stress → EI → MHL → Anxiety	0.430 × −0.246 × −0.154 = 0.017	0.034	0.024	0.004, 0.055
(d) Stress → Anxiety	0.106 + 0.069 + 0.017 = 0.183	0.078	0.001	0.112, 0.337

Stress = Stress of COVID-19.
