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? Restricting the APSCC sample to married-parent households, low-income summer gaps in television viewing and conversation increase in magnitude, and the college-educated television gap more than doubles. → Gershenson 2013

q2 · i? · associational · r2
Sensitivity analysis in table 3 restricting the APSCC sample to children whose parents were married at the diary date. The article presents this as evidence that the main results are not driven by behaviors in single-parent households; OLS estimates corroborate the Tobit findings.
"the low-income summer gaps in both television viewing and conversation increase in magnitude. Additionally, the college-educated summer gap in television viewing more than doubles."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- The parental summer education gap is largely college-educated parents spending more time facilitating children's summer activities — related
- No statistically significant summer gap in children's reading time by parental education in the APSCC — related
- Low-income children spend about 12 fewer minutes per day conversing with adults during summer, marginally significant — related
