B, unstandardized coefficient; SVR, survivor. Survivor age was included as a continuous variable. Both survivor age and both dyadic management behavior variables were centered to create interaction terms. Higher scores on active engagement and protective buffering indicate higher levels of each behavior. Effect size $r=\sqrt{\frac{t^2}{\left(\left(,t^2+df,\right)\right)}}$ .
