  1. ECR Experiences in Close Relationships, NBO Newborn Behavioral Observation; adummy coded variables with four or more years of higher education serve as a reference; bdummy coded variables with 350,000 NOK (39,259 USD) or less serve as a reference; “Mental health help seeking” = having been in contact with professionals for mental health issues; “Previous experience with being depressed” = Previous experience with being depressed most of the day, almost every day for a period of 2 weeks; “Previous lack of joy” = Having previously had a 2-week period of diminished ability to enjoy things one has usually found enjoyable; standard errors and confidence intervals were based on 9992 percentile bootstrap samples as SPSS did not generate the requested 10,000 samples; N = 166
