  1. T1 = Time 1, T2 = Time 2, T3 = Time 3; The significant results are in bold. According to Preacher and Kelley [71], standardized indirect effects around 0.01 were “small”, effects around 0.09 were “medium”, and effect around 0.25 were “large”. b = unstandardized coefficient, SE  = standard error, CI = confidence interval for the standardized coefficient, β = standardized coefficient
