(b) Results of the conditional indirect effect of self-efficacy at different status of discrimination
GS⟶SEF⟶CPI					Discrimination experience	Effect (SE)	95% CI lower	95% CI upper
					No (effect 1)	0.038 (0.017)	0.0075	0.072
					Yes (effect 2)	0.062 (0.026)	0.016	0.12
					Effect 1 minus effect 2	−0.24(0.018)	−0.067	0.0007

Note. GS = gender-swapping, SEF = self-efficacy, CPI = continuous participation intention, SE = standard error.
