Settling In: The Role of Immigrant Generation in School, Anxiety, and Peer-Related Acculturation Challenges for Seventh Grade Students
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Immigrant youth represent a growing population in Canada, and ensuring their successful integration with schools is essential to promoting long-term equity. The present analysis contributes to our understanding of acculturation challenges experienced by immigrant youth examining how immigrant generation (first, second, and third), predicts school, anxiety, and peer-related risk and protective factors. A sample of 783 grade seven students across 31 schools completed self-report surveys; responses were analyzed using multilevel models to test for differences across generation. While few differences between groups were found at a conventional significance level, trends suggest increased risks for first-and second-generation youth compared with non-immigrant youth. Specifically, in comparison to non-immigrants, second-generation youth were significantly more likely to report having peers involved in delinquency. In addition, first-generation youth reported marginally lower levels of academic self-confidence and marginally higher levels of internalizing anxiety symptoms compared with non-immigrant youth. Implications and directions for future research are explored.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
