In depression: mediating effect of resilience between authoritarian parenting style and depression
y: authoritarian parenting style; m: resilience; x: depression
Step 1: The dependent variable (depression) was regressed on the independent variables (authoritarian parenting style)
Step 2: the hypothesized mediator (resilience) was regressed on the independent variables (authoritarian parenting style)
Step 3: the dependent variable (depression) was regressed on both the independent variable (authoritarian parenting style) and mediators (resilience) in one equation
In anxiety: mediating effect of resilience between authoritarian parenting style and anxiety
y: authoritarian parenting style; m: resilience; x: anxiety
Step 1: The dependent variable (anxiety) was regressed on the independent variables (authoritarian parenting style)
Step 2: the hypothesized mediator (resilience) was regressed on the independent variables (authoritarian parenting style)
Step 3: the dependent variable (anxiety) was regressed on both the independent variable (authoritarian parenting style) and mediators (resilience) in one equation
