Parallel Mediation Model in a Sample of Patients with Major Depression, Somatic Symptom Disorder, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, and Healthy Controls (N = 99). Path A represents the effect of the predictor on each mediator, path B represents the combined relationship of each mediator with the outcome, with the direct effect representing the effect of the predictor on the outcome after inclusion of all mediators and the total effect representing the basic relationship between the predictor and the outcome. The indirect effect represents the combined effect of path A and path B and therefore the mediation. Significance inferences at the 0.05 α level are based upon the notion whether confidence intervals include zero. Abbreviations.
