Notes: For each comparison, the outcome is a dichotomous indicator for whether the respondent chose one of the top two categories on the Likert scale (e.g., on a 4-point Likert scale for amount learned that ranges from “nothing” to “quite a bit,” the binary variable indicates a response choice of “quite a bit” or “some”; Likert scales ranged across items from 4 points to 7 points). Results are similar when we keep the original scale. The adjusted difference between control and treatment is the result of a regression of the dependent variable against fixed effects for randomization strata, a treatment indicator, and an indicator for whether the school is an elementary or middle school. Standard errors (SE) are reported in parentheses, and allow for clustering within school. A Bonferroni correction for fifteen hypothesis tests changes the significance such that none of these results is significant at the 90 percent level. Both the Sidak and Holm-Bonferroni corrections yield identical results.
*Significant at the 90% level; **Significant at the 95% level.
