Figures & Tables

Figure 1.

The coefficient “a” is the effect of the independent variable SPS on dependent variable stigma; The coefficient “b” between the mediating variable FoP on dependent variable; The coefficient “c” is the total effect between SPS and stigma; The coefficient “c’” is the direct effect between SPS and stigma without FoP.

Mediating role of FoP between SPS and Stigma.
Note: FoP, Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form; SPS, sensory processing sensitivity; *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001; the results were obtained by controlling for demographic variables.
