IV = intervention assignment; mediator = ΔFFMQ score from T0 to T2; DV = Δ cognitive anxiety score from T0 to T2. The indirect effect was estimated with 5,000 bias-corrected bootstrap samples; a 95% CI that does not contain zero indicates significant mediation. Baseline values were represented through change scores rather than entered as separate covariates. |
