Notes: Superscript A refers to significant differences between male and female models at the p<.05 level. All models contain demographic characteristics, including self-identified race, region of origin, age, age squared, years in the U.S., U.S. region, and the final wave interview year. The final model includes a cross-level interaction between the pathways and wave.
