Note. Values above the diagonal represent correlations for same-sex dyads. Correlations below the diagonal are for mixed-sex dyads. For same-sex dyads,|.15| < |r| < |.23|, p < .05.|.23| < |r| < |.29|, p < .01. |r| > |.29|, p < .001. For mixed-sex dyads, |.17| < |r| < |.20|, p < .05.|.20| < |r| < |.30|, p < .01. |r| > |.30|, p < .001.

N’s range from 112 to 170, due to missing data.
