The intent of this study is to apply a cross‐level design to examine the influence of contextual factors upon individuals' performance. The results support the hypothesis that peer group characteristics predict individual performance beyond individual characteristics. The implications for using a cross‐level approach to study the effects of contextual variables on individual‐level phenomena are discussed.
