Descriptives for baseline and poststressor inflammatory levels and social interactions

Variable Mean SD Range
Baseline IL-6 (pg/mL) 2.30055 3.487517 0.069–26.671
25 min poststressor IL-6 (pg/mL) 2.56081 3.484687 0.128–21.033
80 min poststressor IL-6 (pg/mL) 2.86058 4.655060 0.083–32.478
Baseline sTNFαRII (pg/mL) 17.8422 14.93169 1.04–86.34
25-min poststressor sTNFαRII  (pg/mL) 20.3419 17.50325 1.60–85.81
80-min poststressor sTNFαRII  (pg/mL) 21.7790 18.20864 1.69–96.20
Positive social interactions 32.1393 24.19457 0.00–159.00
Negative social interactions 7.6516 5.81139 0.00–38.00
Competitive social interactions 3.5410 2.52311 0.00–8.00

Daily positive and negative social interactions are directly comparable, but competitive interactions were described only on days when one occurred.
