  1. *p < 0.002; Bonferroni adjusted alpha (30 tests): αadj. = 0.002. Results of ten separate metaregressions for the a-path from SES to each mediator for each of the two country-level predictors across 57 countries; Est. = unstandardized coefficient; SE = standard error of estimate; I2 = percentage of total variation across countries that is due to heterogeneity rather than chance; QM = omnibus test for predictors (df = 55, for all tests); p-value for test of predictors (QM) equals p-value for unstandardized coefficients (regressions using single predictor).
