STDS and ETSSD for Comparisons of the K6 Structure for Whites to the Structures Found in Other Racial/Ethnic Groups.

Race/ethnicity (referent: White)
Effect size African American/Black Hispanic/Latino Asian AI/AN
STDS 0.220 2.938 2.842 0.333
ETSSD 0.069 1.105 1.143 0.087

Note. STDS = Signed Test Difference in the Sample; ETSSD = Expected Test Score Standardized Difference; AI/AN = American Indian/Alaska Native. STDS represents the expected difference between the two groups in terms of the sum score for the scale. The ETSSD provides a similar measure rescaled so that it is on the same metric as Cohen’s d.
