(a) A stepwise regression analysis with the 𝑧-standardized variables emotional health (EH) and resilience (RS13) as independent and tinnitus-related distress (MTQ) as dependent variable.
(b) A stepwise regression analysis with the 𝑧-standardized variables emotional health (EH) and resilience (RS13) as independent and subjective tinnitus loudness (T-NRS) as dependent variable.
(c) Mediation was subsequently tested with 𝑧-standardized RS13 as independent (IV) and 𝑧-standardized MTQ as dependent (DV) variable and the 𝑧-standardized variable EH as mediator. The mediation effects were estimated by bootstrap analyses [15].
BCa 95% CI = bias corrected 95% confidence interval based on 5000 bootstrap samples.
A confidence interval that does not contain 0 indicates a significant effect.
