Within a quasi-experimental design, the researchers examined whether RESP participants experienced differentlevels of belongingness utilizing two measures: The Psychological Sense of School MembershipScale, as well as a measure of perceived peer support. Additionally, the researchers examinedwhether family income impacted students, regardless of RESP program participation. Finally,researchers examined whether family income moderated
