Predicted levels of positive aspects of caregiving (PAC) as a function of affected relatives’ care needs at varying levels of caregivers’ use of emotional support (A) and use of venting (B).

Notes. Low and high refer to 1.5 standard deviations below and above the mean, respectively. Simple slopes for emotional support— low: b = −.09, CI [−.23, .06]; average: b = .09, CI [−.03, .21]; high: b = .26, CI [ .05, .48]. Simple slopes for venting low: b = −.07, CI [−.22, .07]; average: b = .07, CI [ −.05, .18]; high: b = .21, CI [.01, .41]. PAC ranges from 1 to 5.
