TABLE 4.
Results of a generalized linear model predicting the number of resources students used
| Predictor variables | βa | SE | p value | Reference group |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Second year | 0.087 | 0.031 | 0.005** | First year |
| Third year | 0.190 | 0.032 | <0.001*** | First year |
| Fourth year | 0.233 | 0.033 | <0.001*** | First year |
| Fifth year | 0.300 | 0.035 | <0.001*** | First year |
| Sixth+ year | 0.261 | 0.040 | <0.001*** | First year |
| Non-white | −0.044 | 0.019 | 0.022* | White |
| Male | −0.157 | 0.024 | <0.001*** | Female |
| Continuing- generation | 0.019 | 0.020 | 0.335 NS | First-generation |
aIn these results, β indicates the difference in number of resources used (log transformed); positive values indicate more resources used compared with a reference group; * indicates an alpha of 0.05, ** indicates an alpha of 0.01, *** indicates an alpha of 0.001, and NS indicates that the model was not significant.
