Figure 1.Mediation Model A (Self Model) Note: *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001, using unstandardized path coefficients, the paths and coefficients in the model represent the results for husband; the coefficients in the brackets represent the results for wives. Solid line are significant, dashed lines are insignificant.
