Notes. Assessments n = 6,262 from 313 participants. Positive and negative mood were continuous outcomes, 1 (not at all) to 5 (a great deal).
aThe predictor was binary variables representing any encounters with four different types of social partners.
bThe person mean variables representing the proportion of assessments across study that each participant had encounters with different types of social partners.
cParticipant-level covariates.
dAssessment-level covariates.
*p < .05. **p < .01. ***p < .001.
