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.
q2 i? In the treated class, White students moved from about 3 to about 20 nationalities marked 'not sure,' Black students from about 6 to about 22, Hispanics from about 5 to about 20, Asians from about 4 to about 19, and multiracial students from about 18 to all 27. → Cherry et al. 2014

q2 · i? · causal · r1
Descriptive subgroup analysis from Table 1 (N = 63 treated students). Due to small cell sizes, the authors conducted no tests of statistical significance for the racial/ethnic subgroups, so these are untested descriptive shifts.
"At Time 2, all racial and ethnic groups demonstrated a much greater likelihood of being unsure. Whites and Hispanics identified, on aver age, approximately 20 nationalities as "not sure," while Blacks identified approximately 22 and Asians approximately 19."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Both male and female students in the treated class showed statistically significant increases in uncertainty about racial classifications — related
- Students who received active-learning lessons designed to raise racial doubt became far less certain in classifying nationalities as White or non-White than students in a lecture-only course — a broader claim this one bears on
- Treated students attributed their new uncertainty to personal and emotive engagement with classmates' self-identified racial narratives — related
- Before the lessons, the treated and non-treated classes did not differ significantly in how they classified the twenty-seven nationalities — related
