Note. Since five chi-square tests were conducted for this category, we used Bonferroni corrections to adjust our alpha level to .01.
*p < .01. +small effect size
a, b, c Racial/ethnic groups with the same letter subscripts had column proportions that did not differ significantly from each other according to column proportion z-tests with Bonferroni corrections. Column proportion z-tests were only performed on items that demonstrated at least a small effect size using Cramer’s V.
