q3 · i? · causal · r2

Longitudinal multilevel model (observations nested in students, classes, schools) on the ProFAN sample of 10,163 vocational high-school students; Model 1 tested the gender main effect on the Social Competence Teen Survey score, showing "girls had higher self-reported social competences than boys".

"Our first hypothesis was supported, B = -0.10, SE = 0.02, p < .001 (see Model 1). As expected, girls had higher self-reported social competences than boys."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶
