Subclaims¶

q3 i? Both interventions raised awareness; attitudes did not differ between conditions, but boys behaved more safely in the parental-involvement condition. → Vanderhoven 2015

Evidence¶

Vanderhoven 2015¶

Vanderhoven, E., Schellens, T., Vanderlinde, R., & Valcke, M. (2015). Developing educational materials about risks on social network sites: A design-based research approach. Ghent University. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11423-015-9415-4

q3 · i? · design · r3

Multivariate repeated measures analysis of 205 pupils (average age 12.6) comparing the course alone with the course plus a homework task completed with parents; per Table 4, intentions and behavior differences were significant (p < .05), behavior in interaction with gender (p < .05).

"While there was no difference between conditions with regard to the impact on attitudes, boys behaved more safely in the experimental condition"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Gender — moderator: an instructional effect differs by group
