Subclaims¶

q3 i? In regressions predicting parent-rated functioning, ethnic constancy and knowledge each showed a significant positive main effect on adaptive behavior at home. → Serrano-Villar 2016 q3 i? Neither gender nor ethnicity moderated the association between ethnic identity components and adaptive behavior at home. → Serrano-Villar 2016 (2)

Evidence¶

Serrano-Villar 2016¶

Serrano-Villar, M., & Calzada, E. J. (2016). Ethnic identity: Evidence of protective effects for young, Latino children. Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.appdev.2015.11.002

q3 · i? · associational · r2

Linear regression models on 674 families predicting BASC-2 parent-rated adaptive behavior, controlling for poverty, mother's education, and single-parent home; Table 3 prints unstandardized B coefficients (e.g., constancy 3.04) with no effect sizes. "neither gender nor ethnicity moderated these effects."

"we found two significant main effects in which ethnic constancy and knowledge were associated with better adaptive behavior; neither gender nor ethnicity moderated these effects."

Serrano-Villar 2016 (2)¶

q3 · i? · associational · r3

Null results from the same home-functioning regressions (Table 3): ethnic identity components showed no significant main or moderated associations with parent-rated externalizing or internalizing problems; no effect sizes are printed.

"No main or moderated effects were found for externalizing or internalizing behavior at home."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• At school, ethnic constancy and knowledge predict better adaptive behavior, and constancy predicts fewer externalizing and internalizing problems — related
• Ethnic identity associations with functioning are robust across child gender and ethnic group, and ethnic identity scores are uncorrelated with IQ — related
• Most young Latino children show emerging ethnic identity, with self-identification most prevalent (75%) and knowledge least prevalent (about 20%) — related
• Bicultural identity and integration-type acculturation attitudes are most conducive to minority students' school success, with weak or inconsistent associations for ethnic identification alone — reports the opposite
