β coefficients for the two linear mixed-effects models evaluating which individual-level and relationship-level activity are associated with feelings of belonging and cohesion. Features were included in each model only if they were significantly associated, on their own, with the outcome variable. Variables not tested in the full models have β coefficients marked as —.
