Figure 2 Mediation model of the effects of condition on desire to connect with others as mediated by feelings of connection with others. Social daydreaming is the reference category (coded 0), compared to the control group (D1) and non-social daydreaming (D2) (coded 1). Standardised path coefficients are shown. Total effects (c) for D1 and D2 were .02 and 1.04, respectively. Asterisks indicate significant coefficients (*p < .05, **p < .01, ***p < .001).
