a = outcome
b = social influence processes
c = social influence agents. T4 = fall 3rd year of college, T5 = spring 4th year of college. All standardized structural coefficients ascertained from STDXY in Mplus as all variables were continuous. Underlined values represent stability coefficients; coefficients in standard text associated with predictors from the prior year in college are first-order cross-lagged coefficients, and coefficients associated with predictors from the current year of college are contemporaneous. The B-H FDR procedure was used to determine the statistical significance of all unstandardized coefficients. Based on the FDR procedure, all p-values less than .023 are reported statistically significant.
