Subclaims¶
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? Multi-group analyses by adolescent gender showed no significant differences in the cross-lagged paths between family ethnic socialization and ethnic identity, contrary to the hypothesis that associations would be stronger for females. → Umaña-Taylor Adriana J. 2013
Evidence¶
Umaña-Taylor Adriana J. 2013¶
Umaña-Taylor Adriana J., Zeiders Katharine H., Updegraff Kimberly A. (2013). Family Ethnic Socialization and Ethnic Identity: A Family-Driven, Youth-Driven, or Reciprocal Process? Journal of Family Psychology. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0031105
q3 · i? · associational · r2
Chi-square difference test comparing model fit across gender groups (93 females, 85 males) showed no significant moderation. The authors had hypothesized stronger associations for females based on gendered expectations of women as carriers of culture, but this was not supported.
"The multi-group analyses revealed no difference by gender [χ2Δ (2) = .86, p = .65]."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Gender — moderator: an instructional effect differs by group
- Identity — moderator: an instructional effect differs with it
