[i] Note. Response options varied across measures, but high scores always indicate strong support for the construct. PS pondering = Problem-solving pondering. **p < .01, * p < .05 (two-tailed).

Illustrated are the standardized regression weights for the latent structural equation model. Solid lines indicate significant paths, dashed lines indicate non-significant paths. For the sake of parsimony, the effects of other stressors as job insecurity are only shown in case of significance.

*p < .05; **p < .01; ***p < .001.
