Level 2 estimates from Model 1 of the multilevel SEM across 38 GSAs, testing collective discussion frequency as a predictor of residualized change in the four group-mean outcomes. All four group-level coefficients were nonsignificant as printed; no effect sizes are reported.

"frequency of collective participation in discussions of immigration issues was not associated with collectively greater perceived peer validation (! = 0.096, p = 0.604), hope (! = 0.338, p = 0.111), critical reflection (! = -0.209, p = 0.266), or sociopolitical efficacy (! = 0.075, p = 0.737), after accounting for other factors"

Learner Variables¶

• Civic Mindedness — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
