Note. Public regard, academic anxiety, intrinsic motivation, and school belonging ranged from 1 to 5. Group status ranged from 0 to 3. Private regard and centrality ranged from −2 to 2. Means that were significantly different from one another at a probability level of p < .05 are indicated by Bonferroni contrasts: AA = African American, C = Chinese, D = Dominican, R = Russian, EA = European American.
