The model accounted for about 9% of the variance in cigarette intentions. Adolescents reporting perceived peer approval/use of cigarettes were more likely to intend to use cigarettes (see Table 4). Though the first-order effect of agentic goals was statistically significant for cigarette intentions, the first-order effect of communal goals was not. The two-way interaction, perceived peer approval/use of cigarettes by agentic goals, was statistically significant. Although the sr2 for this interaction was small, it is important to note that this represents the unique association after accounting for the first-order effects. The simple slope of perceived peer approval/use of cigarettes was statistically significant at both high (t [1] = 3.55, p < .001, sr2 = 0.031), and low levels of agency (t [1] = 3.37, p < .001, sr2 = 0.028), though this association was stronger at high levels of agency (see Figure 1). The communal interaction term was not statistically significant.
