q3 · i? · causal · r2

Latent change model covariate analyses found "modest differences in the intercepts" by age, ethnicity, and gender, with no difference in rate of change across demographic groups.

"Note that we found modest differences in the intercepts (i.e., starting points) by age, ethnicity, and gender, but no difference in the rate of change."

• Mastery orientation, value, belonging, self-efficacy, and SRL show small demographic differences by gender, ethnicity, and grade — related
• Demographic characteristics (gender, age, SES, school type, race/ethnicity) were only small correlates of high school students' school feelings, explaining less than 9% of variance in positive and less than 6% in negative feelings — a broader claim this one bears on
• Both interventions produced higher meaning, mastery, and autonomy than control, but lower immersion than control for RJP — related
