q3 · i? · associational · r1
A 2 (parental hearing status) by 2 (group) ANOVA on the Social-Emotional scale yielded main effects of parental hearing status, F (1, 52) = 6.94, and group, F (1, 52) = 9.67; "Deaf children of deaf parents were seen as more socially successful than deaf children of hearing parents". No effect size was printed.
"Deaf children of deaf parents were seen as more socially successful than deaf children of hearing parents by both children and parents, while both deaf and hearing parents saw their deaf children as more socially successful than did the children themselves."

q3 · i? · associational · r1
A 3 (home language: sign, English, or both) by 2 (group) ANOVA on Social-Emotional scores yielded main effects of language, F (1, 50) = 4.26, and group, F (1, 50) = 11.56; sign-language homes were rated higher, and English-only and mixed homes "did not differ". No effect size was printed.
"both groups saw social success as (significantly) greater in families using sign language at home compared to families using either English or both sign language and English at home, which did not differ"
Marschark M 2012 (3)¶

q3 · i? · associational · r1
A 2 (school type) by 2 (group) ANOVA showed parents rated social success higher than children regardless of placement, and "Children enrolled in schools for the deaf also were seen by both their parents and themselves as more socially successful than those in mainstream schools". No effect size was printed.
"Children enrolled in schools for the deaf also were seen by both their parents and themselves as more socially successful than those in mainstream schools, F (1, 49) = 8.22, MSE = .54."
