Table 3. Predicting Second Grade Peer Relations.

	Dependent Variables

	Peer Dislike	Aggressive Friends: Model 1	Aggressive Friends: Model 2
Intercept	.15 (.05)	.48 (.06)	.46 (.06)
Level 1: Child Characteristics

Sex	-.28 (.03)^**	-.85 (.03)^**	-.82 (.03)^**
Child Aggression, first grade	.43 (.02)^**	.10 (.02)^**	.08 (.02)^**
Peer Dislike, second grade	--	--	.05 (.03)
Level 2: Classroom Characteristics

Classroom Aggression	-.02 (.02)	.07 (.04)^*	.08(.04)^*
Child Aggression X Class Aggression	-.06 (.02)^**	--	--
Random effects for conditional model

μ₁₁: Variance of Classroom Intercepts	.008 (.007)	.15(.02)^**	.14 (.02)^**
μ₂₂: Variance of Classroom Slopes	.013 (.008)^*	.02 (.01)^**	.06 (.01)^**
μ₂₁: Covariance of Classroom Intercept & Slopes	-.003 (.005)	.05 (.01)^**	-.03 (.01)^*
δ₁₁: Variance of School Intercepts	.041 (.015)^**	.06 (.03)^*	.05 (.02)^*
χ² (df)	65.55 (4)^**	278.64 (4)^**	322.62 (4)^**
r: Individual-level variance(SD)	.77 (.02)^**	.58 (.02)^**	.55 (.02)^**

Note: Standardized coefficients are shown. Model 1 tests homophily with child and classroom aggression predicting aggressive friends; model 2 tests homophily by exclusion with peer dislike as an additional predictor of aggressive friends.
