Abstract
Abstract The authors propose a general three‐dimensional structure of ethnic identity for Italian‐ and Greek‐Canadians with the following three dimensions: (a) Ethnic Language Use with Family Members, (b) Ethnic Language Media Exposure, and (c) Ethnic Attachment. They executed preliminary exploratory factor analyses (EFAs) and subsequent confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs) separately for each ethnic group. Results suggest much similarity between the measurement models of each group. The CFAs also indicate that the two language‐based dimensions are the most reliable indicators of ethnic identity for both ethnic groups. One multisample analysis points to potentially invariant measurement structures between the two groups and another is indicative of stability of the proposed general structure between men and women. Estimates from additional second‐order confirmatory factor analysis models, which also include acculturation, serve to demonstrate that the ethnic identity construct is discriminant of acculturation for both groups. Structural equation modeling shows that ethnic identity dimensions tend to be positively related to the consumption of traditional foods for both Greek‐ and Italian‐Canadians. On the other hand, the hypothesis that ethnic identity is negatively related to the consumption of convenience foods received only partial confirmation. This was reflected by the Italian‐Canadian sample but not by its Greek‐Canadian counterpart. Résumé Le présent article propose une structure générale à trois dimensions pour l'identité ethnique des Italo‐ et des Helléno‐Canadiens. La structure proposée comprend (a) l'utilisation de la langue ethnique avec les membres de la famille, (b) l'exposition à la langue maternelle dans les médias, et (c) l'attachement ethnique. Des analyses factorielles exploratoires préliminaires (EFAs) et confir‐matoires (CFAs) sont réalisées séparément pour chacun des deux groupes ethniques. Les résultats suggèrent une grande similarité entre les modèles de mesure proposés pour chaque groupe. Les analyses factorielles confirmatoires indiquent que les deux dimensions à caractère linguistique représented les indicateurs les plus fiables de l'identité ethnique pour les deux groupes ethniques. L'analyse confirmatoire multi‐groupes met en évidence des structures de mesure potentiellement invariantes entre les deux communautés tandis qu'une autre analyse met en lumière la stabilité de la structure proposée entre les hommes et les femmes. Des analyses factorielles confirmatoires de second ordre incluant le concept « acculturation » permettent de démontrer que dans les deux groupes étudiés, le concept d'identité ethnique ne prend pas en compte le concept d'acculturation. Le modéle d'équation structurelle indique que pour les Helléno‐ et les Italo‐Canadiens, les dimensions de l'identité ethnique tendent à être positivement reliées à la consommation d'aliments traditionnels. Par ailleurs, l'hypothèse selon laquelle l'identité ethnique est néga‐tivement reliée à la consommation de produits alimentaires de convenance est partiellement validée et uniquement dans l'échantillon d'Italo‐Canadiens.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
