Note: Moderators measured as continuous variables reflect the change in network mechanism due to one standard deviation shift (elective seating and honors are left as raw dummy variables). Table A1 in the Appendix illustrates that, due to lack of variance in some settings (e.g., on SES), the N varies for bivariate school results from 94 to 129 depending on the focal level-2 variable. For the full school models, the N is 94. For classroom models, the N varies from 15 to 35 classes depending on the focal level-2 variable (e.g., there is no racial or age homophily in some classrooms).
