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? The chatbot group showed slightly elevated positive-activating emotions and slightly reduced negative-deactivating emotions, but neither difference reached statistical significance. → Cilia Ricarda Rücker 2025

q3 · i? · causal · r2
Mann-Whitney U group comparison of post-intervention emotion scores in the cluster-randomized study (N = 195). Descriptively, EG positive-activating emotions were M = 2.37 (SD = 1.03) versus CG M = 2.10 (SD = 0.96); no effect size was printed, so the null is reported without equivalence claims.
"The Mann-Whitney U test revealed no significant differences between the EG and the CG for positive-activating (p = 0.053) or negative- deactivating emotions (p = 0.265)."
