Note: βs (Eq. 2) are standardized and can be interpreted like r (0.10 = small, 0.30 = medium, 0.50 = large; Cohen, 1992). Second date decision odds ratios were converted to r using the tool provided by Lenhard and Lenhard (2022). P values for the gender differences refer to the interaction terms between the parameter and gender when all gender interactions were added (along with the gender main effect) to Eq. 2. **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
