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? Each standard deviation increase of physical neighborhood disorder was associated with 20.7% of a standard deviation decrease in GPA. → Martin-Storey 2014
Evidence¶
Martin-Storey 2014¶
Martin-Storey, A., & Crosnoe, R. (2014). Perceived Neighborhood Safety and Adolescent School Functioning. Applied Developmental Science, 18(2), 61-75. https://doi.org/10.1080/10888691.2014.876276
q3 · i? · associational · r2
SEM full model predicting grade-9 GPA in the SECCYD sample (n = 924), controlling for perceived safety, census-based neighborhood measures, and family, school, and demographic covariates. The printed standardized magnitude was 20.7% of an SD per SD of disorder; no d, r, or eta-squared value was printed.
"A significant association was observed, however, between observer-rated physical neighborhood disorder and GPA, such that each standard deviation increase of physical neighborhood disorder was associated with 20.7% of a standard deviation decrease in GPA"
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Safety — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
Related Claims¶
- Among youth from low-income families, perceived neighborhood safety is negatively associated with GPA, whereas among non-low-income youth no association is observed — related
- The association between perceived neighborhood safety and GPA is moderated by observer-rated neighborhood disorder and by neighborhood affluence — related
- Perceived neighborhood safety is not significantly associated with standardized test scores or GPA once confounding variables are controlled — related
- Perceived neighborhood safety is protective for school attachment among low-income youth in high-disorder neighborhoods, and mediates the affluence-school attachment link only among non-low-income youth — related
