Note. M = mediation variable (intolerance of uncertainty), Y = dependent variable (bonding), Coeff. = coefficient, SE = standard error, LCI = lower limit of 95% confidence interval, UCI = upper limit of 95% confidence interval, GC = general castes, OBC = other backward castes, SC = scheduled castes, LQ = laterality quotient, X*M = interaction of antecedent and mediation variables (moderation effect); bold values indicate significant indirect effects (not including zero between upper and lower limits of 95% confidence interval).
