Coefficients and standard errors in parenthesis for logit regression of current ego divorce status on previous alter divorce status among all egos who were not divorced at the previous exam. Observations are restricted to alters named by the ego as a friend. Exam 2 is not included as a dummy variable in the regression because it is the baseline observation. Exam 1 is excluded because all observations require lagged variables and information prior to Exam 1 was not observed.
