From: Alexithymia may explain the relationship between autistic traits and eating disorder psychopathology
Experiment 1: regression coefficients for the relationship between autistic traits (AQ) and alexithymia (TAS-20) (path a), between alexithymia and eating psychopathology (EAT-26) (path b), between autistic traits and eating psychopathology including the contribution of alexithymia (path c—the total effect), and between autistic traits and eating psychopathology controlling for the mediating effect of alexithymia (path c’). P values are reflected by asterisks where p < .001 is depicted with three asterisks, and p < .01 is depicted with two asterisks
