Note: CA-SE: Childhood Adversity Stressful Events; CA-RP: Childhood Adversity Relationship with Parents; CA-PEA: Childhood Adversity Physical/Emotional Abuse; CAR: Cortisol Awakening Response. Regression coefficients for each CA domain are reported in the table followed by robust standard errors in brackets. 95% Confidence Intervals (CI) for indirect effects are provided for models that controlled for Self-Esteem.
