q2 · i? · associational · r?

The authors report, from their own earlier longitudinal study of engineering students, that after controlling for credits earned "black transfer students are more likely to persist in engineering than non-transfer black students," a difference specific to black students. No effect size is printed.

"In an earlier study, after controlling for credits earned, we found that black transfer students are more likely to persist in engineering than non-transfer black students—a finding that does not hold for students of other ethnicities."
