Hierarchical linear growth models for social connectedness, positive emotions and negative emotions over 9 weeks.

Predictors	Social connectedness		Positive emotions		Negative emotions
	B (SE)	p	B (SE)	p	B (SE)	p
Time	0.01(.00)	.00	0.00(.00)	.00	−0.00(.00)	.00
T1 vagal tone	−4.40(3.28)	.09	.13(2.8)	.48	2.69(1.22)	.01
T1 vagal tone×time	0.13(.04)	.00	.05(.03)	.03	0.00(.02)	.47

Note: Results represent unstandardized coefficients. Models fitted using autoregressive: AR(1) error structure. All models controlled for gender and original study experimental condition; effects were nonsignificant, with the exception of a direct effect of gender on negative emotions. Women experienced significantly less negative emotion (b =−.21, p = .03). Reported tests are one-tailed.
