q3 · i? · associational · r3

Longitudinal SEM of the ELS:2002 sample testing the aspiration-expectation difference with a sum-and-difference orthogonal transformation; the study reports the gap "negatively predicted all these outcomes". No effect size for the gap is printed in the available text.

"However, the aspiration-expectation gap negatively predicted all these outcomes."
