(a) Fitted path model in the mixed group from total scores of Childhood Trauma to CM being mediated (or not mediated) by Cognitive Empathy, Affective Empathy, Depressive Symptoms, and Cortisol. Goodness of fit indices indicated that the model was statistically fit; χ2(7) = 7.28, p = .41; AIC = 1466, BIC = 1493, CFI = 1.0, TLI = 1.0, RMSEA = .03. The solid lines indicate statistically significant paths, and the broken lines indicate the non-significant path. **p < .01, *p < .05. (b) Fitted path model in the mixed group from total scores of ACE to CM being mediated by Cognitive Empathy, Affective Empathy, Depressive Symptoms, and Cortisol. Goodness of fit indices indicated that the model was statistically fit; χ2(7) = 6.48, p = .49; AIC = 1268, BIC = 1296, CFI = 1.0, TLI = 1.0, RMSEA = .00. **p < .01, *p < .05.
