In a smaller sample ( n = 54) and controlling for exposure to the mentalizing intervention, ACEs were positively associated with pre-mentalizing ( b = 0.12) but did not reach statistical significance ( p = .053).

Bootstrapping with 5,000 samples demonstrated an indirect effect of pre-mentalizing on the relationship between ACEs and perceived relational strain with a similar effect size as in the primary analyses ( b = 0.77) that did not quite reach statistical significance (95% CI [-0.15, 1.69], p < .10).
