  1. N = 1236, B Unstandardised coefficients, BootSE Bootstrapping standard error, BCCI Bias-corrected confidence intervals, a Ratio calculated as 100 × (indirect effect (B) / total effect), where the total effect is the sum of all mediation effects (i.e., the sum of indirect effects) and the direct effect [33]. About a total proportion of 42.38% was mediated by social capital. All the sociodemographic variables were controlled for in the model
