Figure 2. Final model standardized path coefficients for the entire sample (A), white men (B), African-American women (C), and white women (D). In the diagrams, solid lines represent statistically significant paths, whereas dashed lines represent paths that were included in the model but that were not statistically significant. Circles are used to represent latent variables, whereas boxes indicate measured variables. Consistent with SEM conventions, the arrows are shown as going from the latent construct to boxes indicating measured variables in the model. Standardized path coefficients for the entire sample on the latent variables are as follows: psychosocial functioning (depression = 0.64, hostility = 0.28, positive social contacts = –0.65, negative social contacts = 0.58); metabolic functioning (waist circumference = 0.84, glucose = 0.47, insulin = 0.72, LDL cholesterol = 0.26, triglycerides = 0.50, HDL cholesterol = –0.53).
