structs shown in Figures 3 through 6 were entered into the discriminant function analysis as independent variables. A boy's antisocial behavior at age 10 was also entered to determine the extent to which the boy's initial level of antisocial behavior was associated with continuity over time. In this way, the effect of peers could be assessed when controlling for the severity of antisocial behavior. The results of this analysis produced two statistically significant discriminant functions which are shown in Table 5. Labels were provided for these functions based on the pattern of correlations observed between each of the independent variables and the discriminant functions. The first discriminant function was highly significant, yielding a canonical correlation of .83 between the independent and dependent variables. This function was labeled initial deviance because contact with antisocial peers and the child's level of antisocial behavior at age 10 were significantly correlated with this function. Also correlated with the first discriminant function is contact with antisocial peers at age 14. At the bottom of Table 5, the group centroids are provided to indicate the
