Exam 4: Analyzing Race and Ethnicity With the GSS

Figure 4.2 examines the relationship between respondents' racial-ethnic group and their confidence in education, controlling for respondents' gender. RACEHISP is a nominal-level variable that indicates respondents' self-identification as non-Hispanic white, Black or African American, non-Black Hispanic, or another racial/ethnic minority group. CONEDUC is the variable corresponding to the question, "I am going to name some institutions in this country. As far as the people running these institutions are concerned, would you say you have a great deal of confidence, only some confidence, or hardly any confidence at all in them? … Education." The top portion of the figure shows the variables used to construct the analysis and indicates that SEX was used as a control variable and YEAR was used as a filter. Figure 4.2 -Among men respondents, which group was the most likely to report having a great deal of confidence in educational institutions?

A researcher is interested to know whether people of different racial-ethnic groups tend to hold different ideas about American cultural diversity. She creates Figure 4.1, where RACEHISP is a variable that indicates respondents' self-identification as non-Hispanic white, Black or African American, non-Black Hispanic, or another racial/ethnic minority group. IMMCULT is a variable corresponding to the question "How much do you agree of disagree with the following statements? 'American culture is generally undermined by immigrants.' Figure 4.1 -Of the racial/ethnic groups analyzed in this figure, which group has the highest number of respondents?
