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.

q2 i? In a longitudinal study of African American adolescents, perceived discrimination was negatively related to ERI public regard one year later. → Umaña-Taylor 2014 q2 i? African American adolescents reporting low public regard showed relatively weaker associations between perceived discrimination and psychological adjustment than those reporting high public regard, suggesting a buffering effect. → Umaña-Taylor 2014 (2)

Umaña-Taylor 2014 (2)¶

q2 · i? · theoretical · r3

The review reports, citing Sellers, Copeland-Linder, Martin, and Lewis (2006), that low-public-regard adolescents showed "relatively weaker associations between perceived discrimination and psychological adjustment" than high-public-regard counterparts, which the authors read as a buffering effect. No effect size is printed.

"African American adolescents who reported low public regard demonstrated relatively weaker associations between perceived discrimination and psychological adjustment compared to their counterparts reporting high public regard, suggesting a buffering effect (Sellers, Copeland-Linder, Martin, & Lewis, 2006)."
