Simple slope analysis
In Figure 1, simple slope analysis showed that the association between
depression and quality of life was gradually decreased in the mean
(B=-0.274, β=-0.237, p <0.01) and high (+1SD above the
mean, B=-0.654, β=-0.565, p <0.01) groups of perceived
social support. The results showed that low perceived social support
(-1SD below the mean, B=0.106, β=0.092, p >0.05) was
no statistical significance. In Figure 2, simple slope analysis showed
that the association between anxiety and quality of life was gradually
decreased in the low (-1SD below the mean, B=0.110, β=0.093,p <0.05), mean (B=-0.269, β=-0.229,p <0.01) and high (+1SD above the mean, B=-0.648,
β=-0.552, p <0.01) groups of perceived social support.
