The top part reports our Study 3 results and the bottom part the results of Study 2 (Table 5) of SHFM [11]. D = Duration; FOI = Frequency of Interaction; KOG = Knowledge of Goals; SD = Self-Disclosure; SNF = Social Network Familiarity; RCI = Relationship Closeness Inventory; BIDR = Balanced inventory of Desirable Responding.
