Leckfor et al (2023), Study 3 — LWSH23

Moderation analysis for need for satisfaction. The author postulated that the type of rejection (control, being ghosted or rejected) would moderate the effect of the need for closure. The authors postulated that there would be "lower needs satisfaction after being ghosted".

Usage

LWSH23_S3

Format

A data frame with 545 rows and 7 variables:

cond: [factor] condition, one of included (control), ghosted and directly rejected and postulated mediator
needsatis: [double] need for satisfaction, response variable
needclosure: [double] need for closure, an average of 15 Likert scale, explanatory variable
age: [integer] age of respondant
gender: [factor] gender of respondent, either woman, man or other
reltype: [factor] type of romantic relationship, either casually dating, friendship, romantic relationship
rel: [double] answer to the questions "how you felt toward the other person before the situation you just described ...", with high values demanding more involvement and commitment to the relationship
