Note. Brackets represent 89% HDIs of posterior probability distributions. Subsamples are listed in parentheses; ‘Sona’ or ‘MTurk’ reflect where the sample completing the likelihood ratings was recruited from. Sona-2 was administered MTurk-sourced activities; MTurk-2 was administered Sona-sourced activities. All other samples were administered activities sourced from another sample within the same population. ‘Relationship Quality’ refers to mean scores from the IPPA scale. ‘Social Loss Aversion’ refers to scores on the one-item measure of how upset a participant would feel if they could no longer spend time with a given social partner. ‘Actual Time Spent’ refers to how many days in a month, on average, a participant sees a given social partner. ‘Ideal Time Spent’ refers to how many days in a month, on average, a participant would ideally see a given social partner.
