Note: **< /= .01 for both rho and r; +p </= .01 only for the statistic indicated.

1. Both Somers' D, and Goodman and Kruskal's Gamma results match in terms of significance findings with Spearman (p </= .01) and therefore are not reported. 

2. LAS measures reverse coded, with higher values indicating preferred love style.
