Notes: Columns 2–3 and 5–6 each represent a logistic regression model. Results are presented as odds ratios. Standard errors in parentheses. Each model controls for relationship, socio-demographic characteristics, prior related experiences, months in study, months in study squared, and number of completed surveys. These controls are not presented for parsimony.

These columns present the results of twenty separate models -- each model includes a single measure of a perceived norm, and the control variables.
