Data consistent with those reported in the original article are in the SPSS file “Henry et al.sav” or the Excel file “Henry et al.xls.” Analyze and interpret this model. Which variable had a more important effect on boys’ delinquency: peers who are delinquent or peers who are violent? Which variable was more important for boys’ violence? What were the indirect effects of Family Relationships on Individual’s Violence and Delinquency? Test an alternative model to determine whether Family Relationships directly affect the outcome variables.

(The Henry et al., 2001, article reported correlations among variables. The data used in this example were simulated data designed to mimic these correlations. The Family Relationships variable used here was a combination of three variables from the original article.)
