Serial mediating effect test and comparison results of different paths.

	Effect	Boot standard error	BootLLCI	BootULCI	Mediating effect
Total indirect effect	0.17	0.03	0.108	0.236	58.62%
Path 1 indirect effect	0.02	0.01	0.003	0.044	6.90%
Path 2 indirect effect	0.11	0.02	0.070	0.165	37.93%
Path 3 indirect effect	0.04	0.02	0.007	0.068	13.79%
Comparison 1	−0.09	0.03	−0.153	−0.039
Comparison 2	−0.02	0.01	−0.044	0.001
Comparison 3	0.08	0.03	0.026	0.133

Comparison 1 is path 1 indirect effect vs. path 2 indirect effect; comparison 2 is path 1 indirect effect vs. path 3 indirect effect; comparison 3 is path 2 indirect effect vs. path 3 indirect effect.
