The results for the primary LMM are shown in Table 3. There were no significant (p < .05) main effects for either early caregiving or adult romantic quality on the intercepts or the slopes of anxious-depressed symptoms across adulthood. Furthermore, the parameter for the linear time term was not significant, indicating flat levels of anxious-depressed symptoms over time. These null main effects were qualified by interactions, however. Early caregiving and adult romantic quality significantly interacted to predict intercepts (i.e., age 23 anxious-depressed symptoms) (p = .008) and slopes (p = .05) across time.4
