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? SPCCS and I-ADAPT-M scores correlated positively with age (rho = 0.12 and 0.16, p < 0.001), while correlations for the Resourcefulness Scale (0.0258) and CAS (−0.0222) were negligible. → Matthew Barr 2020

q2 · i? · associational · r2
Age-correlation analysis of the survey (Table 2). The article reports a highly significant but very small positive correlation between age and SPCCS and I-ADAPT-M, and negligible coefficients for the other two measures.
"The Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient for the two most positive correlations, SPCCS and I-ADAPT-M, is 0.12 and 0.16, respectively, with p-values of <0.001."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Playing games in a variety of modes (local and online multiplayer; cooperative and team-based) is associated with higher adaptability and communication scores
- All measured graduate attribute scores correlate positively with one another, with the Resourcefulness Scale correlating most weakly
- Graduate attribute attainment correlates only extremely weakly with years spent at university — related
