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? No moderated effects of gender or ethnicity were found for child functioning at school, and ethnic identity components showed no significant associations with IQ (rs = .00 to .05). → 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 · r3
Correlational check between ethnic identity scales and WNV IQ scores in the 674-child sample; the printed correlations (rs = .00 to .05) are all below .10, supporting i = 0 for the IQ association. The article also reports no moderated effects at school.
"No significant associations were found with ethnic self-identification, constancy, knowledge, or preference (rs = .00 to .05)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Ethnic constancy and knowledge are associated with better adaptive behavior at home, with no moderation by gender or ethnicity — related
- Exploratory subgroup and correlation analyses show mostly no significant differences in benefit or experience scores by child and family characteristics — related
- Diversity and matching associations with kindergarten achievement vary by child race/ethnicity, with academic benefits concentrated among White students — reports the opposite
- 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 — related
- At school, ethnic constancy and knowledge predict better adaptive behavior, and constancy predicts fewer externalizing and internalizing problems — related
- No gender differences emerged in the associations between family ethnic socialization and ethnic identity — related
