Question 4
How do demographic variables affect the outcome of the pretest/posttest LAS?
- Overall, the effects of the treatment were statistically significant even after the effects of gender, education level, age,
language spoken,
and languages studied were removed from the comparison of interest.
- The treatment group statistically significantly improved scores on each of
the LAS subscales except for LAS subscale 4, cognitive abilities
- Subscale 4 included only two items while the other subscales included more items
and the measure may not be sensitive enough to detect differences.
- Subscale 4 trended toward significance but did not achieve it.
