aUnstandardized B coefficient represents change in attractiveness ratings per one point increase in BrAC (µg/100 ml). Adjusted model includes adjustment for age, sex, public house and alcohol expectancies.

bUnstandardized B coefficient represents change in attractiveness ratings per 1 h increase in time of testing. Adjusted model includes adjustment for BrAC, age, sex, public house and alcohol expectancies.
