  1. Unstandardized direct effects come directly out of the estimation procedure. Due to the metric differences of the instruments, in this case, standardized direct effects should be preferred to indicate the strength of the associations (magnitude between −1 and + 1). Higher absolute values indicate a stronger (positive or negative) association. An absolute C.R. > 1.96 reflects that path coefficients are significant at the 0.05 level
  2. DIF Difficulties with identifying feelings, DDF Difficulty of describing feelings, EOT Externally oriented thinking
