Table 4 Path analyses examining the mutual mediating mechanisms of cognitive adaptation and routine disruptions on probable depression/anxiety.

Outcome	Direct/Indirect effects	Direct/Indirect effect β [95% CI]
T2 Probable depression	T1 Cognitive adaptation	0.021 [–0.078, 0.120]
	T1 Cognitive adaptation → T2 Routine disruptions	–0.009 [–0.025, 0.007]
	T1 Routine disruptions	–0.042 [–0.149, 0.065]
	T1 Routine disruptions → T2 Cognitive adaptation	0.032 [0.006, 0.058]*
T2 Probable anxiety	T1 Cognitive adaptation	0.060 [–0.049, 0.170]
	T1 Cognitive adaptation → T2 Routine disruptions	–0.011 [–0.027, 0.006]
	T1 Routine disruptions	0.024 [–0.097, 0.145]
	T1 Routine disruptions → T2 Cognitive adaptation	0.036 [0.006, 0.066]*

Probable depression was defined by scores of 10 or above on the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9); Probable anxiety was defined by scores of 10 or above on the 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale (GAD-7); Cognitive adaptation and routine disruptions were binary variables (based on median split). Results of the sensitivity analysis based on continuous variables are presented in Supplementary Table 3.
