This compensatory social seeking was highly significant during the first 100 time steps (t(99) = −5.80, p < 0.001, Cohen’s d = −0.27), corresponding to an approximate 11.6% reduction relative to controls ( Fig 4D ) and became even more pronounced during segments such as 301–400 (t(99) = −16.59, p < 0.001, Cohen’s d = −1.72), corresponding to an approximate 22.7% reduction ( Fig 4D ) and the final 701–748 interval (t(47) = −13.56, p < 0.001, Cohen’s d = −3.55), corresponding to an approximate 36.5% reduction ( Fig 4D ) (see S1 Table for details).
