Subclaims¶

q3 i? Contrary to hypotheses, frequency of participating in immigration discussions did not predict residualized change in critical reflection or sociopolitical efficacy; equivalence was not tested. → Rosenbach 2022

Rosenbach, S. B., Sherwood, S. H., Poteat, V. P., Yoshikawa, H., & Calzo, J. P. (2022). Benefits for Immigrant-Origin and Non-Immigrant-Origin Youth of Discussing Immigration in Gender and Sexuality Alliances. Psychology in the Schools. https://doi.org/10.1002/pits.22513

q3 · i? · associational · r2

Null results from Model 1 of the multilevel SEM of the two-wave GSA survey. The article reports the unstandardized coefficients and p-values for critical reflection (b = 0.032, p = 0.624) and sociopolitical efficacy (b = 0.136, p = 0.055); no effect sizes are printed, and the sociopolitical efficacy result is marginal.

"frequency of participating in immigration discussions did not predict residualized change in youth’s levels of hope (b = 0.128, p = 0.156), critical reflection (b = 0.032, p = 0.624), or sociopolitical efficacy (b = 0.136, p = 0.055) when adjusting for all other factors"
