A Illustration of a direct association. Path c represents total association of frequency of fried food consumption on the total score of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CESD). B Illustration of a hypothesized model. Path a represents the association of frequency of fried food consumption on the total score of 14-item Resilience Scale (RS-14), the proposed mediator. Path b represents the association of the total score of RS-14 on total score of CESD partialling out the effect of dietary factor. Path c’ is the direct association of dietary factor on total score of CESD partialling out the association of the total score of RS-14. The indirect association of dietary factor on total score of CESD through total score of RS-14 is the product of a and b, which is tested with the bootstrap confidence interval (CI) obtained through the bootstrapping method
