B = Unstandardized beta, β = Standardized beta. Repetitive negative thinking = PTQ at T1, Implicit associations as measured by the Single Category Implicit Association Task, Attentional bias = bias to sad infant faces as measured by Emotional Dot-Probe Task, Prenatal depressive symptoms = EPDS at T1. Model 1 (mothers): R = 0.226, R² = 0.051, Adjusted R² = 0.039, Standard error = 0.412. Model 2 (mothers): R = 0.440, R² = 0.194, Adjusted R² = 0.162, Standard error = 0.385. Model 1 (fathers): R = 0.317, R² = 0.100, Adjusted R² = 0.077, Standard error = 0.371. Model 2 (fathers): R = 0.525, R² = 0.276, Adjusted R² = 0.215, Standard error = 0.342. Bold values are significant at 0.05 level.
