Correlation matrix of variables

Variable	1.	2.	3.	4.	5.
1.Misperception of parental norms	–
2. Parental perceptions concerning other parents'approval	1.00a	–
3. Parental attitudes toward child's drinking	.52**	.52**	–
4. Child's attitude toward drinking	.12*	.12*	.28*	–
5. Child's drinking	−.01	−.01	.21**	.43**	–

^aA perfect correlation of 1.00 resulted because Variable 1 was derived from taking Variable 2 values and subtracting the mean of Variable 3 (a constant value of 1.90), considered to be a linear transformation of the data (Gravetter and Wallnau, 2009).

^*p <.05;

^**p <.001.
