There is an error in Table 4. Table 4 contains a row for the measure “Closeness”. The mean (standard deviation) value of “4.18 (1.79)” for the column “1st gen” and “4.93 (1.87)” for the column “Non-migrants” are swapped. The Non-migrants column should be “4.18 (1.79)” and the 1st gen column should be “4.93 (1.87).”
Table 4. Summary of culture-only means and regression coefficients.
Means and standard deviations are raw values before transformation. Unstandardised regression coefficients estimate the difference denoted in the column heading, with 95% confidence intervals in square brackets. Note that in the regressions several measures are logged, and some models are non-linear (see text for details), so coefficients should not be compared across models/measures. Differences comprising CIs that do not cross zero are shown in bold. 1st gen = 1st generation British Bangladeshi, 2nd gen = 2nd generation British Bangladeshi. For categorisation, higher values indicate holistic cognition, lower indicate analytic.
