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? Study 2 replicated the moderation: the stereotype × centrality interaction was significant (β = –.21, p < .001), with significant simple slopes at average (β = –.20) and high (β = –.51) centrality and a nonsignificant slope at low centrality. → Okeke 2009

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Hierarchical regression with 290 seventh-grade African American students from 17 urban middle schools, controlling gender, school composition, parent income and education, and achievement. The interaction was significant: "β = –.21, p < .001". Simple slopes were β = –.20 and –.51 at average and high centrality (p < .01) and nonsignificant at low centrality.
"The change in R2 was significant, and the main effect of academic race stereotypes was qualified by the stereotype × centrality interaction, β = –.21, p < .001"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Racial centrality plays different roles across outcomes: protective against discrimination's effects on mental health but a vulnerability factor for stereotype effects on self-perceptions — a broader claim this one bears on
- Among African American eighth graders high in racial centrality, stronger endorsement of the traditional academic race stereotype is associated with lower academic self-concept, controlling achievement and demographics (Study 1) — related
- African American middle school students on average endorse the traditional academic race stereotype while reporting high academic self-concept — related
- Academic achievement is moderately correlated with academic self-concept in African American middle school youth — related
