Study 3 IELD effect estimates for college students’ self-reports and for reports on roommates

Outcome Effect size LB UB
Participant self-report
 Anxious mood (current) 0.16*** 0.05 0.27
 Vigorous mood (current) 0.15** 0.05 0.26
 Physical symptoms (6 wk) 0.18*** 0.11 0.26
 K10 mental distress (6 wk) 0.29*** 0.21 0.37
Participant report on roommate
 K10 mental distress (6 wk) 0.13*** 0.03 0.23

Effect sizes are in Cohen’s d metric and were estimated in a linear mixed model that compared first reports with the average of reports of participants whose report was not their first report. The model adjusted for early/late time-points in the semester and random intercepts. Significance levels: **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001. LB and UB are lower and upper bounds of 95% CIs, respectively. The participant results were based on n = 455, and the roommate results were based on n = 345.
