  1. Note. Bivariate analyses are Pearson product-moment correlations, Spearman’s Rho for categorical variables. *p ≤ 0.05, ** p ≤ 0.01. Statistics of categorical variables indicate percentages. Emotional neglect and physical neglect: CTQ subscales, range for each: 5–25. Mental distress: PHQ-4 total score, range 0–12. Cut-off according to Löwe, et al.65: low mental distress: 0–5, high mental distress: 6–12. Income: Equivalised income calculated according to the OECD guideline67: household income/√(people in household); household income per month: 1 =< 1,250€, 2 = 1,250–2,500€, 3 => 2,500€. N = 2,404.
