Models predict behaviors displayed during and self-reports measured immediately following the experimental (Time-2) interaction. All models control for the corresponding Time-1 “Bsln=Baseline” interaction parameter. Models reflect all covariates included in the primary (“actor”) analyses, although see data analysis section for supplemental analyses exploring partner effects along with a range of other covariates. RelatQual = Reported relationship quality measured continuously using the Dyadic Adjustment Scale, centered at 1 standard deviation below the mean (“low” relationship quality). Alcohol = Actor alcohol condition, dummy coded such that 0=Control and 1=Alcohol. Models for self-report outcomes reflect multivariate models exploring effects of six correlated indexes of mood and perceived social outcomes, self-reports converted into standardized units for analysis (more positive = higher). (see data-analysis section for models that subdivide by individual self-report variable).
