Note: s2 = variance in random effect; Δ−2LL = likelihood ratio test comparing models including and not including a random effect; p values are based on -Δ2LL being distributed roughly χ2(1).

Each predictor was tested in a separate model.

To separate the effects of simply having a partner (or children) from the effects of being with one’s partner (or children), these coefficients are the simple slope of partners (or children) being present for partnered individuals (or parents).

These models would not properly converge when a random slope was included.
