SEM of the direct and indirect effects of gender on depression (CDS score), (N = 1022). Note. The pathways represented by arrows correspond to direct and indirect effects of gender on depression (CDS score). Solid arrows (in bold) represent statistically significant associations between variables and dashed arrows represent non-significant associations. Each arrow is labeled with the respective effect estimate and its 95%-confidence interval. The effect magnitudes on the arrows are not comparable to each other because the mediators have different scale ranges.Gender was coded as 0 = male, 1 = female; IV = independent variable, DV = dependent variable, CDS=Cardiac Depression Scale, PTSD-PCL-S=Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist, RS-14 = Resilience Scale-14, SISE = Single-Item Self-Esteem Scale, SF-12-PCS = Short-form 12 Health Survey-Physical Component Summary, PHQ-15 = the Patient Health Questionnaire-15; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001
