Mediation models multi-group analysis were used examine relationships variables. Results Our findings demonstrated significant relationship between depression ( r s = 0.32–0.88). Specifically, lower higher associated with levels anxiety. Additionally, individuals external tendencies reported (Cohen's d 0.61) 0.58) compared those internal tendencies. modelling showed that mediator (effect size −0.04, 95% CI −0.08 −0.01) −0.06, −0.10 −0.02). Crucially, impact varied significantly based style. Conclusions These underscore importance considering understanding addressing challenges during adolescence.
