520 $a Due to the instances of violence in several schools in the United States, much speculation has arisen about the various factors that might lead children to carry weapons to school. Using both a concurrent and longitudinal design, the present study aims to demonstrate that peer relationships moderate the association between social cognitions about weapon carrying and weapon-carrying behavior in high school children. It was hypothesized that children's group and dyadic relationships in terms of quantity as well as quality should moderate this relationship.
520 $a For the concurrent sample, which included the students that participated in the spring of 2004, the participants were 371, primarily Latino, 9 th - 11th grade boys and girls. For the longitudinal sample, which included the students that participated in both the fall of 2003 and the spring of 2004, the participants were 198, primarily Latino, 9th - 10th grade boys and girls. Participants completed a self-report questionnaire that assessed children's social cognitions about weapon carrying, a self-reported weapon carrying assessment, and a sociometric measure that asked students to indicate classmates they like to work or hang out with the most, classmates they least like to work or hang out with, their best friends and worst enemies. The participants also completed a peer nomination inventory that assessed weapon-carrying behavior and interpersonal characteristics.
520 $a A series of logistical regression analyses were utilized in order to test the concurrent and longitudinal hypotheses. Results showed that some peer relationships do influence the relation between social cognitions about weapon carrying and weapon-carrying behavior. Furthermore, this study demonstrates how the interaction between social cognitions and interpersonal relationships can predict the probability of carrying a weapon. Overall, the pattern of the interactions indicated that children with low power characteristics were more likely to show greater translation of social cognitions about weapon carrying into behavior than those with high interpersonal power. The exceptions to this pattern involved the interpersonal characteristics friends' aggression and peer acceptance. Having aggressive friends and being accepted by peers maximized the actualization of underlying social cognitive evaluations into behavior.
