Significant effects (p ≤ .001) are bolded. Values for social distancing are unstandardized coefficients (B) and odds ratios. Values for linear regression are standardized coefficients (β). All continuous variables were centered before entry into the model. R2 values for logistic regression are Nagelkerke pseudo R2
