Subclaims¶

q3 i? When PEU was regressed on both ANX and CSE, both paths remained significant (CSE→PEU: β = 0.117, t=-4.011, p = 0.0001; ANX→PEU: β = -0.094, t =-3.466, p =0.001), indicating partial mediation with reduced path strength. → Saadé 2009

q3 · i? · associational · r2

Multiple regression on the 645-student survey data showed both CSE→PEU (β = 0.117) and ANX→PEU (β = -0.094) significant, with the ANX path weakening from β = -0.276, indicating "some decrease in the strength of the relationship" consistent with mediation.

"When PEU was regressed on both ANX and CSE, a significant relationship was found between CSE and PEU (β = 0.117, t=-4.011, p = 0.0001) and the relationship between ANX and PEU was also significant (β = -0.094, t =-3.466, p =0.001)"
