| Degree | 0.64 *** | (0.12) | 0.05 | (0.12) | 0.43 *** | (0.11) | −0.16 | (0.14) |

| Degree | 0.90 *** | (0.11) | 0.14 | (0.10) | 0.41 *** | (0.10) | −0.22 | (0.12) |
| Strength | 1.72 *** | (0.14) | 0.07 | (0.14) | 0.60 *** | (0.13) | −0.08 | (0.16) |
Significance levels: *** < 0.001, ** < 0.01, * < 0.05. All models were based on 146 observations in 12 student groups. Estimates reflect expected differences in log count of the number of social ties.
