Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? Nested model comparisons showed the discrimination–private regard relation differed by age group, with more frequent discrimination at Time 2 associated with lower private regard at Time 3 among late adolescents. → Seaton Eleanor K. 2009

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Nested SEM comparison constraining regression coefficients equal across middle (14–16, n = 87) and late (17–18, n = 132) adolescents; the constrained model significantly worsened fit for private regard (ΔX2 = 16.21, Δdf = 8, p < .05), indicating non-equivalence across age groups, with the negative cross-lag present only among late adolescents.
"The results for private regard (ΔX2 = 16.21, Δdf = 8, p <.05) were significant. Specifically, the results suggest that among late adolescents, reports of more frequent racial discrimination at Time 2 was associated with lower private regard at Time 3 (Figure 4)."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Identity — outcome: instruction changes it
Related Claims¶
- No cross-lag effects were observed between racial discrimination and private regard in the full sample — reports the opposite
- Public regard decreased linearly over time while reported discrimination dipped at Time 2 and rose again at Time 3 — related
- School ethnic composition moderates change in ERI affirmation during adolescence — related
- Perceived racial discrimination at Time 1 is negatively linked to public regard at Time 2 among African American adolescents — related
- School level moderates the correlation non-linearly, with grades 7–12 showing the most negative correlation — related
- Perceived discrimination is negatively related to later public regard, and low public regard buffers discrimination's impact on adjustment — related
- Teacher-perpetuated racial or ethnic discrimination in math classrooms is associated with worse engagement, grades, and test scores for all students — related
- No cross-lag effects were observed between racial discrimination and racial centrality over three years — related
