∗Correlation is significant at the 0.05 level (2-tailed).
**Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed).
aPrimarily due to one participant reporting substantially more time spent with another person. If this person is removed, correlation drops to 0.055 and 0.016.
bHeavily influenced by one participant with an average distance of home some three times higher than the next highest. Removing this person reduced correlations to 0.228** and 0.157*.
