Chain Mediated Effect Test of Rejection Sensitivity and Loneliness on Self-Control and PIU

	Effect	BootSE	BootLLCI	BootULCI	Relative Mediation Effect
Indirect effect 1 (Self-control→Rejection Sensitivity→PIU)	−0.08	0.02	−0.12	−0.05	9.76%
Indirect effect 2 (Self-control→Loneliness→PIU)	−0.17	0.04	−0.25	−0.11	20.73%
Indirect effect 3 (Self-control→Rejection Sensitivity→Loneliness→PIU)	−0.04	0.01	−0.05	−0.02	4.88%
Total indirect effect	−0.29	0.04	−0.21	−0.06	35.37%

Notes: BootSE, BootLLCI, and BootULCI refer to the standard error of indirect effect estimated by percentile Bootstrap method of deviation correction and the lower and upper limits of the 95% confidence interval, respectively.
