Ethnic Identity Kim & Gelfand Learning Check What is the independent variable? What are the dependent variables? What is the moderating variable? What are the 3 hypotheses?

Hypotheses 1 & 2 Diversity Emphasis on Recruitment Brochures Positive Inferences re: Org Intention to accept job offer Ethnic Identity

Null Hypothesis 3 Diversity Emphasis on Recruitment Brochures Positive Inferences re: Org Intention to accept job offer * Ethnic Identity Race Diversity Emphasis on Recruitment Brochures

Method Participants –238 Business & Psychology Majors –110 men, 128 women Type of ParticipantDiversity Condition Non-Diversity Condition Caucasian7069 Non-Caucasian4950

Method Design –Participants randomly assigned to one of two conditions Diversity initiative brochure (experimental) No Diversity initiative brochure (control) –Participants’ study major not related to any of the variables measured in study Note: Use of indirect/passive voice not recommended in project papers

Method Construction of brochures (experimental manipulation) –Brochures written at a general level to Avoid confusion for participants unfamiliar w/consulting Permit organizational inferences –Professionally printed –Pilot tested for Perceived authenticity Adequacy of information Content, clarity and length of diversity initiative –Differences in length b/w diversity & non-diversity brochures not addressed

Measures Inferences re: Organization –Developed from previous research –16-items –5-point agree/disagree scale –4 factors –Reliability=.65 to.75 Likelihood of accepting a job offer –2 items –5-point agree/disagree scale –Reliability=.75

Ethnic Identity –Validated by previous research –12-items –5-point agree/disagree scale –2 highly correlated sub-scales –Reliability=.72 Measures

Manipulation checks –4 items –5-point agree/disagree scale –Reliability=.95 –Significant mean differences across the experimental conditions (One-way ANOVA) How to check for….?? –ethnicity by diversity condition differences? –Gender by ethnicity by diversity condition differences? Measures

Descriptive Results Reliability analyses –Note absence of reliabilities of dichotomous variables Mean differences on manipulation checks Means, sds & correlations –Note absence of means & sds of dichotomous variables Significance of correlations not presented

Hierarchical regression –Dummy code categorical variables -1, 0, 1 etc. depending on levels –Enter main effects first –Before entering moderator variable, convert the predictor variables (not dvs) into z-scores, then multiply them with each other –Enter 2-way interactions after main effects –Enter 3-way interactions last Regression Steps

Regression Results Main effect of ethnic identity explains 25-55% of additional variance in DVs Interaction b/w ethnic identity and diversity condition is significant for some dvs (ethnic identity moderates relation b/w diversity condition & some dvs) –Explains 1-3% additional variance in socioemotional references re: org & likelihood of accepting job offer Note on β,  R 2
