Note. Reference group is displayed in parentheses. A positive b value indicates that the non-referent group had higher levels of discouragement than the referent group, and a negative b value indicates that the non-reference group had lower levels of discouragement than the referent group. These values represent average higher or lower amounts of discouragement on a 5-point scale (e.g., men reported being .17 points less discouraged than women).
