Table 3 Unstandardized coefficients of linear mixed models predicting LSI-A scores and autobiographical memory test (AMT) scores for positive (EPOS) and negative (ENEG) specific memories to test the effect of the REMPOS program. The columns for Spain and Mexico show separate models for each sample, where the interaction between time and condition test for the differential effect of the REMPOS program. The column “Both” tests a model pooling all participants from both countries and it uses the interaction between time, condition, and country to test cross-cultural effects
