Table 6 Beta coefficients of the multiple linear regressions predicting participation in optional summer science experiences for higher SES and lower SES participants

Regression included N = 339, 356, and 355 for the higher SES group and N = 259, 269, and 272 for the lower SES group for home-related experiences, nature-related experiences, and STEM camps, respectively. Regression controls for gender, grade, and minority status. Reference group is non-minority women. Bolded text denotes statistically significant predictors within SES group, and superscripts denote statistically significant differences in predictor coefficients across SES groups, both alpha thresholds set at p < .05
