Note: Results were generated using hierarchical linear modeling. Mediation is suggested when the Mediator x Time term is significant and the Hostile Resistance x Time term is non-significant. Hostile resistance and all putative mediators were measured at Session 10 with the exception of the two working alliance variables, which are residualized change scores. In these analyses, a negative Hostile Resistance x Time effect indicates that hostile resistance predicts a slower rate of change on the Panic Disorder Severity Scale (PDSS); a negative Mediator x Time effect indicates that a higher level of that mediator predicts a faster rate of PDSS change.
