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.
q3 i? In both studies, participants scored above average on Psychological Flourishing, Positive Affect, and Life Satisfaction relative to normative benchmarks, and about average on Core Self-Evaluations. → Bernstein Brian O. 2021
Evidence¶
Bernstein Brian O. 2021¶
Bernstein Brian O., Lubinski David, Benbow Camilla P. (2021). Academic Acceleration in Gifted Youth and Fruitless Concerns Regarding Psychological Well-Being: A 35-Year Longitudinal Study. Journal of Educational Psychology. https://doi.org/10.1037/edu0000500
q3 · i? · associational · r2
Norm-referenced appraisal of Study 1 box-and-whisker plots (Appendix A); the article reports the parallel result for Study 2 (Appendix B). Participants were "above average on Psychological Flourishing, Positive Affect, and Life Satisfaction"; no effect sizes are printed, so impact is unquantified.
"Benchmarked against normative standards (Diener et al., 1985; Diener et al., 2010; Judge et al., 2003; Pavot & Diener, 1993), the typical participant in Study 1 scored about the average on the Core Self-Evaluations scale, and above average on Psychological Flourishing, Positive Affect, and Life Satisfaction."
