Interaction between left centromedial amygdala reactivity and recent stress predicts concurrent mood and anxiety symptoms in women. Effects are shown for women only. Simple slopes analysis was conducted using parameter estimates obtained in Mplus. Effects were estimated at mean levels of stress, 1 SD below the mean (low stress) and 1 SD above the mean (high stress). The symbol ‘*' indicates that a simple slope is significant at p<0.05. Amygdala reactivity was mean centered for this analysis. Total MASQ symptoms were calculated by summing the four standardized subscale scores; 0 indicates mean symptom levels across the subscales.
