Table 4 Effect of Interpersonal Sensitivity on Subjective Well-Being at Different Levels of Peer Support

Peer Support	Effect	BootSE	LLCI	ULCI
Low (−1.0446)	−0.12	0.04	−0.21	−0.07
Medium (0.0000)	−0.06	0.02	−0.11	−0.03
High (+1.0446)	−0.01	0.02	−0.05	0.05

Notes: Low peer support takes the value of -SD and high value is +SD. LLCI is the lower limit of the confidence interval and ULCI is the upper limit of the confidence interval.
