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? Cross-lagged analysis over two time points showed a unidirectional influence from earlier community violence exposure to later school engagement, controlling for stability and covariates. → Borofsky Larissa A. 2013

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Cross-lagged Structural Equation Model with 118 adolescents assessed twice roughly 2.5 years apart, controlling for income, gender, and parent-to-child aggression. Constraining the CV1-to-SE2 path produced a significant fit change (Δχ2(1, N = 118) = 6.53, p = .01), while the "SE1 to CV2 path was not significant".
"The CV1 to SE2 cross-path was significant when accounting for concurrent relationships and variable continuity over time and the SE1 to CV2 path was not significant, consistent with a unidirectional influence from earlier community violence to later school engagement."
