Concept
results of diversity ideology study
- 2 x 3 anova- (URM vs white/asian) and (multiculturalism vs colorblindness vs control)
- Significant interaction between race and condition
- URM students in the multiculturalism condition scored significantly better than students in the colorblind condition
- URM students in the multiculturalism condition scored significantly better than students with no intervention at all
- URM students in the colorblind group performed the same as URM students with no intervention at all
- The interventions did not impact the performance of white/asian students
- Found a racial achievement gap in the colorblind and control conditions
- The achievement gap was much smaller in the multiculturalism condition-the GPAs were not statistically significantly different from white/asian students
- Analyzed grades across time→ the intervention effects did not waver as time persisted
