Extended Data Fig. 3: Discriminant validity for CRF.
From: A latent measure of cultural racism and its association with US mortality and life expectancy
Showing Pearson product moment correlation coefficient between CRF and in panel A) Racialized economic segregation (ICERACEINC; -0.5 (-0.66, -0.31), df=49, p0.001; Krieger et al 2016), B) Standardized structural racism factor (SSRF; -0.47 (-0.66, -0.23), df=35, p= 3.1e-03; Brown and Homan 2024), and C) State racism index (SRI; 0.15 (-0.09, 0.37), df=48, p=0.29; Alvarez 2023). Each solid dot indicates value for one of 50 states and DC. Discriminant validity was assessed by comparing these correlations to the square root of the average variance effect (AVE=0.45, 0.38, 0.54) for the CRF obtained from the CFA model, which is 0.67. All three correlations are less than 0.67, which suggests that the CRF attains discriminant validity of concept in relation to structural racism. Very small p-values are reported in scientific notation to preserve precision. Statistical test for P: Pearson product moment correlation coefficient, two-tailed.
