Among celebrants who perceived higher levels of closeness to their friend, believing they were closer to their friend than the friend reported was associated with greater alcohol-related consequences.
Note. Discrepancy scores were created by subtracting the friend’s rating of closeness to the celebrant from the celebrant’s rating of closeness to the friend. Therefore, positive discrepancy scores indicate that the celebrant perceived greater closeness to the friend than did the friend, and negative discrepancy scores indicate that the friend perceived greater closeness to the celebrant than did the celebrant. Numbers to the right of the graph represent rate ratios for each level of celebrant perceived closeness. * p < .05 **p < .01 ***p < .001
