Evidence¶

Basarkod 2023¶

Zero-order correlations across the whole sample (Table 1), calculated using all 5 imputed datasets and combined using Rubin's rules; the article reports "very large (r = .78 to .85)" for achievement and "small to medium (r = .15 to .26)" for enjoyment.

"The correlations between the achievement scores in the three domains were very large (r = .78 to .85), while the correlations between the three domains of enjoyment were small to medium (r = .15 to .26)."
