Note: HB: health behavior; B: unstandardized regression coefficient; SE: standard error; β: standardized regression coefficient. Step 1 assessed main effects and step 2 the interaction effect. Home country was represented as a dummy variable with 1 indicating that the home country is Germany and 0 indicating that the home country is abroad. Time with peers referred to number of hours per week. Time with peers and living with parents were centered at their means to compute their interaction. ap < .05, bp < .01.
