  2. aIndirect, direct, and total effects are partially standardized (std)
  3. bIndirect effects reflect a 10.000 bootstrap sampling with confidence interval (CI) of 95%, and CIs are fully standardized (Hayes, 2018). Bolded bootstrap CI indicate significant indirect path. If zero is absent from the interval, then the indirect effect is significant, suggesting the data support the proposed indirect effect
