grade students in Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS), Florida. Three
hundred sixty one Hispanic students of Cuban (253), Colombian (57), and Nicaraguan
(51) ancestry from 10 middle schools participated in the study. Two hundred twenty
eight students were from low socio-economic status (SES) background, and 133 were of
middle SES background. There were 136 boys and 225 girls. The International
Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement Civic Education Student
