q3 · i? · associational · r2

Cross-sectional ABCD analysis of bullying-by-sex interactions on CBCL scores. The study reports "interactions were found between bullying status and sex" with ΔR² = 0.001, p < 0.01, and "bullied boys having greater problems than the bullied girls" in four syndrome scales.

"interactions were found between bullying status and sex in CBCL scales for withdrawn/depressed, social, thought, and aggression (Figure 3C; ΔR2 = 0.001, p < 0.01), with the bullied boys having greater problems than the bullied girls in each of these syndrome scales"

Learner Variables¶

• Gender — predictor: outcomes differ by group: a gap reflecting circumstances and treatment, not a cause
