B = Unstandardized beta, β = Standardized beta. Repetitive negative thinking = PTQ at T1, Bonding = MPAS/PPAS at T4, Infant regularity as measured with diurnal clocks at T4, Postnatal depressive symptoms = EPDS at T4. Model 1 (mothers): R = 0.149, R² = 0.022, Adjusted R² = 0.014, Standard error = 0.319. Model 2 (mothers): R = 0.494, R² = 0.244, Adjusted R² = 0.218, Standard error = 0.284. Model 1 (fathers): R = 0.248, R² = 0.061, Adjusted R² = 0.043, Standard error = 0.279. Model 2 (fathers): R = 0.511, R² = 0.261, Adjusted R² = 0.200, Standard error = 0.255. Bold values are significant at 0.05 level.
