Figure 2

Pathways assessed by Structural Equation Modelling of relations between change scores over two years for the personality dimensions of Harm-Avoidance (ΔHA) and Self-Directedness (ΔSD), and the dimensions of psychopathology of Emotional Dysregulation (ΔED), Retardation (ΔRET) and Anxiety (ΔANX) in 58 patients with major depression. The numbers represent correlation coefficients, except for the ambiguous relation between ΔSD and ΔHA, which is expressed in terms of the covariance coefficient.
