The model accounted for approximately 10% of the variance in intentions to use alcohol. Social goals and perceived peer approval/use of alcohol were not significant predictors of alcohol intentions as first-order effects (see Table 4). The two-way perceived peer approval/use of alcohol and communal goals interaction term approached statistical significance (p = .10). Like the perceived peer approval/use of cigarettes and agentic goals interaction term, the sr2 for this interaction term was small because it represents the unique association after accounting for first-order effects. No other interaction terms approached statistical significance. The simple slope of perceived peer approval/use of alcohol was statistically significant at high (t [1] = 2.93, p <.01, sr2 = 0.021), but not at low levels of communal goals (t [1] = .94, ns, sr2 = 0.002; see Figure 2).
