Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? Academic self-efficacy has a significant positive direct effect on school satisfaction (b = .11, t = 2.79). → Tricia M. van Rhijn & Donna S. Lero 2014
q2 i? School-family balance partially mediates the academic self-efficacy to school satisfaction path (indirect b = .07, t = 2.78). → Tricia M. van Rhijn & Donna S. Lero 2014 (2)

q2 · i? · associational · r2
Cross-sectional survey of 398 student parents analysed with latent variable SEM (MLR in Mplus). The structural model fit adequately (RMSEA = 0.04, CFI = 0.96) and "Student parents with higher self-efficacy beliefs regarding their academic skills and performance reported feeling more satisfied with school."
"Student parents with higher self-efficacy beliefs regarding their academic skills and performance reported feeling more satisfied with school."

q2 · i? · associational · r2
Mediation testing used bias-corrected bootstrapped standard errors with 1000 draws. The academic self-efficacy total effect on school satisfaction (b = .18) split into a direct effect (b = .11, t = 2.79) and an indirect effect via school-family balance (b = .07, t = 2.78).
"The total effect of academic self-efficacy (F1) on school satisfaction (F4) (b = .18) was separated into a significant direct effect (b = .11, t = 2.79) and a significant indirect effect through the mediator, school-family balance (b = .07, t = 2.78)."
