Note: CI = confidence interval; LB = lower-bound; UB = upper-bound; IE = total indirect effect of persons on episodic affect via activities (i.e., the extent to which the association between a person’s presence and episodic affect was reduced by controlling all activities).

95% CIs for parameters in boldface do not contain zero.

Each predictor was tested in a separate model.

Italicized parameters dropped below the threshold for statistical significance with activity controlled (compare with Table 2); Because of how the predictors were coded (1 = present; 0 = not) and the outcomes were standardized, b_d represents the standardized difference in the variable when the person was present vs. not.

^*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 slopes of partners (or children) being present for partnered individuals (or parents).
