Mediation of the effect of WIL → CSE → CAD

Path/Effect	b	SE (HC3)	t	p	95% CI for b
a: WIL → CSE	0.439	0.039	11.154	<0.001	[0.362, 0.517]
b: CSE → CAD (controlling WIL)	0.473	0.034	14.038	<0.001	[0.407, 0.540]
c (total): WIL → CAD	0.298	0.038	7.772	<0.001	[0.223, 0.373]
c′ (direct): WIL → CAD (controlling CSE)	0.090	0.038	2.379	0.018	[0.016, 0.164]
ab (indirect via CSE)	0.208	0.024	–	–	Boot 95% CI [0.162, 0.256]

Note(s): Model fit: CSE model R² = 0.191; CAD model with mediator R² = 0.359; CAD total-effect model R² = 0.117

Completely standardized indirect: ab_cs = 0.239 (Boot 95% CI [0.190, 0.292])

Bootstrap: 5,000 samples; bias-corrected CIs; HC3 robust SEs
