The results indicate that achieving a degree renders an individual significantly more economically right-wing, although the estimators differ in the exact magnitude of the effect. Those using the complete case sample estimate a similarly-sized effect to that on racial prejudice, of just over 0.15 SD – yet the REWB model applied to the multiply imputed data suggests a much larger effect, of around 0.35 SD. This larger effect may be attributable to differential attrition affecting those in the control condition, where cohort members from more disadvantaged backgrounds (and who therefore would be less likely to achieve a degree and more likely to hold economically left-wing views) were less likely to continue with the study. This result provides evidence in support of hypothesis 3, and is in line with previous literature, where authors have attributed this change both to peer socialisation and to economic allocation effects.
