Affective-behavioral Islamophobia predicts unique variance in victim sympathy.

Evidence

The results of the regression analysis supported the incremental validity of the IS by demonstrating that the I-AB predicted unique variance in sympathy for a Muslim bomb victim (Table 6). — Sherman A.

Categorization

  • DEFINE: ‘Incremental validity’ means a new measure predicts the outcome beyond variables already in the model — here the Islamophobia subscales earn their keep after demographics and related psychological measures are controlled.
  • QUESTION: How much unique variance did I-AB add, and did the cognitive subscale add anything once affect was in the model? The text reports the direction but withholds the coefficients.
