B = unstandardized regression coefficient; β = standardized regression coefficient; 95% CI = 95% bias corrected and accelerated confidence intervals of unstandardized regression coefficient as estimated by means of bootstrapping. Bold regression coefficients are significantly different from 0 (p < .05). PCL-5 = Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for DSM 5.
