Figure 3.
The path diagram links victimisation, exposure to negative acts, and mental health problems across T 1 and T 2. Victimisation at T 1 predicts victimisation at T 2, with b equals 1.98 and 3 asterisks. Exposure to negative acts at T 1 predicts victimisation at T 2, with b equals 1.62 and 3 asterisks, and mental health problems at T 2, with b equals 0.02 and n s. Mental health problems at T 1 predict victimisation at T 2, with b equals 0.64 and 3 asterisks, and mental health problems at T 2, with b equals 0.73 and 3 asterisks. Victimisation at T 2 predicts mental health problems at T 2, with b equals 0.18 and 3 asterisks.Exposure to negative acts at T1 predicting mental health problems at T2 through victimization at T2, controlling for prior victimization and mental health problems
Note(s): Numbers on arrows represent unstandardized regression coefficients (b). For the binary outcome (victimization at T2), coefficients are logit coefficients; for the continuous outcome (mental health problems at T2), coefficients are linear regression coefficients; ***p < 0.001, ns = not significant
