Planning date nights that promote closeness: The roles of relationship goals and self-expansion.

4 Consistent with Study 1, people who scored higher on approach relationship goals planned dates that were more exciting, as rated by themselves, b = .34, SE = .07, CI [.21 to .46], β = .35, p < .001 and by outside observers, albeit the latter was marginally significant, b = .13, SE = .08, CI [−.02 to .29], β = .12, p = .09.

se results revealed that people high in approach relationship goals planned dates that were more exciting (self-rated), b = .29, SE = .05, CI [.19 to .40], β = .38, p < .001, and this pattern of findings was replicated with the ratings of three outside coders, albeit, the association only reached marginal significance, b = .10, SE = .06, CI [−.02 to .21], β = .12, p = .09.
