Question

Zybrea Knight · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Past research often failed to consider the fact that ethnicity and SES (socioeconomic status) are confounded, meaning that a person's ethnicity can often be associated with their SES, and vice versa. Therefore, it is difficult to determine the specific effects of ethnicity on various outcomes without controlling for SES. This realization has led to a re-evaluation of previous findings on the effects of ethnic minority status in the United States.
