Note. Gender (0.4= female, −0.6 = male), Race/Ethnicity (0 = Non-White, 1 = Non-Hispanic White); three School sites coded 1–3; three Cohorts coded 1–3; School Year Week (0 = Break Week, 1 = School Year Week); Class Year (−0.5 = First-Year, 0.5 = Sophomore); removal of cross-level interaction effects of gender (L2) on evaluations (L1) did not alter the pattern or significance of model findings

a

Person-centered variable that reflects deviations from the participant’s average score on that variable across weeks.

Bold values are significant at p < .05.
