ABSTRACT
B. One additional significant path between FC1_M and the initial level of anxiety (I_ANX) was detected in the conditional FCM. Below we interpret the impact of this predictor on the primary growth factor (initial level of anxiety). Then we re-interpret the statistically significant effect(s) on global growth factors after incorporating these direct regression coefficients. The influence of financial cutback on primary growth factor (π) -.016: For a one unit increase in financial cutback, the initial level of anx-
iety symptoms decreased by an average of .016 even after accounting for the influence of the internalizing symptoms’ global factor (p < .001).
