Notes. Network Size (EMA) refers to the total count of unique interaction partners reported across the 14-day period. Close friends refers to the baseline nominations. Subj. Social Status = MacArthur Scale of Subjective Social Status (Range 1–10, with higher values indicating higher subjective social status). Potential range for NSI is 0–1. Potential range for SELSA Social Loneliness is 14–98.
