College students' depression and body image: Unraveling the Link

Figure 3 Hypothetical path model for relationships between study variables. Standardized path coefficients from structural equation modeling. Circles represent latent variables (e.g., depression, body dissatisfaction), and rectangles denote observed variables (e.g., physical activity, diet). Arrows indicate standardized β coefficients and significance (^aP < 0.001), illustrating direct/indirect effects of physical activity and diet on depression via body dissatisfaction.
