Results of the multi-level structural equation model testing family thwarted belongingness and friend thwarted belongingness as mediators of the association between interpersonal negative life events (NLEs) and next-day suicidal thinking.
INQ=interpersonal needs questionnaire; NLE=frequency of interpersonal negative life events; T=time 1 (EMA survey), T+1=time 2 (subsequent EMA survey)
Note. Standardized estimates shown. Grey lines=measurement model, Black lines=structural models. Solid lines=significant at p < .05, dashed lines=not significant. The covariances between the family and friend latent variables are not shown for clarity purposes but reported here. Between-person level: β=.07, p=.303, within-person level: β=.17, p<.001.
