SRS = social rejection sensitivity measured by the total score on the O²S³ [25]; interpretation bias = negative interpretation bias measured as proportion of grammatically correct sentences with negative valence on the pre-ASST scrambled sentences task [23]; emotional disorder symptoms = emotional disorder symptoms measured as composite score of standardized DASS-21 total score [30] and standardized SDQ internalizing score [31]; parental rejection = perceived parental rejection measured as eponymous subscale score of the PASCQ [36]; parental behavioural control = perceived parental behavioural control measured as eponymous subscale score of the PASCQ [36]; parental psychological control = perceived parental psychological control measured as eponymous subscale score of the PASCQ [36]; affective control = affective control measured as proportional difference score on the affective digit span task [38]. * p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001. Pearson’s correlations are reported.
