q2 i? In one study of Latino early adolescents, higher levels of affirmation were associated with decreases in academic adjustment from seventh to eighth grade, suggesting the adjustment link of positive affect depends on context. → Umaña-Taylor 2014

The review reports, citing Umaña-Taylor, Wong, Gonzales, and Dumka (2012), that "higher levels of affirmation were associated with decreases in academic adjustment from seventh to eighth grades" among Latino early adolescents. This contrasts with the broader pattern of positive affect as promotive. No effect size is printed.

"In one study of Latino early adolescents, for example, higher levels of affirmation were associated with decreases in academic adjustment from seventh to eighth grades (Umaña-Taylor, Wong, Gonzales, & Dumka, 2012)."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Identity — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
• Race and Ethnicity — predictor: outcomes differ by group: a gap reflecting circumstances and treatment, not a cause
