Note. N=470. Cog = Cognitive functioning. Dep = Depression. CogAct = Cognitive activity. Est. = Unstandardized estimates. SE = Standard errors. P = Probability value. CI = Confidence intervals. Parametric bootstrap confidence intervals based on the Monte Carlo method were obtained for the indirect effects. κ2 = Effect size for indirect effect. a = direct path from predictor to mediator; b = direct path from mediator to outcome variable; c’ = direct path from predictor to outcome variable after controlling for the mediators.
