Serial-multiple mediation of self-esteem (wave 1) and different SDQ subscales (wave 2) in the relationship between CM (wave 1) and depressive symptoms (wave 3)
Solid arrows indicate significant paths, and dotted arrows indicate insignificant paths
The unstandardized path coefficients for the overall sample are presented outside the brackets, and data for males and females are present on the left and right in brackets, respectively. Significant path coefficients have been bolded
All mediation models were adjusted for age, household socioeconomic status, living arrangement, classmate relations, relationships with teachers, smoking, drinking, depressive symptoms, internalizing and externalizing problems at wave 1, and sex (overall model only)
