Subclaims

Reading the evidence codes

q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.

This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.

q3 i? Self-identification, constancy, and knowledge were each more likely to be observed in kindergarten children than in pre-k children. → Serrano-Villar 2016

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

Chi-square comparisons by grade in the 674-child sample (Table 2) showed grade differences for self-identification, constancy, and knowledge; the article reports the pattern without effect sizes. The authors interpret this as consistent with the developmental sequencing found by Bernal and colleagues.

"Consistent with developmental theory, most components of ethnic identity were more likely to be seen in kindergarten, relative to pre-k, children."
