Note: Correlations that are significant at the level of p < .01 are displayed in bold text. Units specified for each domain apply only to the measure of teen behavior. Peer norms, parent modeling, parent rules, and teen attitudes were assessed using single items or aggregates of single items with 5-point response scales ranging from “strongly disagree” or “strongly dislike” to “strongly agree” or “strongly like.”
