Note: This table can be read like an ordinary regression except that the variable coding for DRD4 is divided into two variables to control for population stratification. The between-family component represents the average number of DRD4-7R alleles among all observed members of the subject’s family, while the within-family component indicates the excess number of DRD4-7R alleles relative to the family average. The results show that the interaction term remains positive and significant when we restrict the analysis to male friendships. Null deviance = 1123.28.
