q2 i? SES tended to be lower in absolutistic and multiplistic profiles and higher in sophisticated and highly sophisticated profiles across eight samples. → Julia Schiefer 2022

Descriptive analysis of SES covariate means across profiles in eight samples (Fig. 4). The overall range of z-scores of SES across profiles was -0.25 to 0.45, indicating 'a rather substantial discriminating value of the profiles regarding SES.'

"Overall, our results point to a positive relation between the level of sophistication of epistemic belief profiles and SES."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

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