Direct and indirect effects in the final path model.

Specific path	𝑎	S.E.𝑎	𝑏	S.E.𝑏	𝑍
Hisp. cultural involvement → mutuality → withdrawn-depressive behaviors	0.29	0.10	−1.28	0.27	−2.41*
Hisp. cultural involvement → mutuality → anxious-depressive behaviors	0.29	0.10	−2.41	0.71	−2.17*
Hisp. cultural involvement → mutuality → somatic complaints	0.29	0.10	−1.08	0.33	−2.15*
Mutuality → withdrawn-depressive behaviors → suicide attempt	−1.28	0.27	0.09	0.04	−2.11*

Note. 𝑍-values are derived using the Sobel Test of indirect effects: 𝑍=𝑎𝑏/S.E._𝑎𝑏, where 𝑎 = coefficient from initial variable to mediating variable, 𝑏 = coefficient from mediating variable to outcome variable, 𝑎𝑏 = indirect coefficient, S.E. = standard error, and S.E._𝑎𝑏=√(𝑏²×S.E._𝑎2)+(𝑎²×S.E._𝑏²).
