Gillen-O’Neel 2011¶

Gillen-O’Neel, C., Ruble, D. N., & Fuligni, A. J. (2011). Ethnic Stigma, Academic Anxiety, and Intrinsic Motivation in Middle Childhood. Child Development. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-8624.2011.01621.x

q3 · i2 · associational · r2

Between-subjects ANOVA with ethnicity, grade, and gender factors on 451 children's public regard. The study found "ethnic-minority children reported lower levels of public regard than ethnic-majority children, F(4,391) = 10.10, p < .001, η2 = .09".

"As expected, ethnic-minority children reported lower levels of public regard than ethnic-majority children, F(4,391) = 10.10, p < .001, η2 = .09."

q3 · i3 · associational · r2

Same ANOVA design applied to perceived group status. The article reports "African-American, Chinese, and Dominican children reported lower status perceptions than European-American and Russian children, F(4,391) = 55.93, p < .001, η2 = .36".

"For group status, African-American, Chinese, and Dominican children reported lower status perceptions than European-American and Russian children, F(4,391) = 55.93, p < .001, η2 = .36,"
