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? Across models of acceptance of peers with ADHD and depression, participant age, participant gender, and perceived responsibility of the target were the three most important predictors. → ev-abstract-results

Regression models tested on survey responses from 595 participants across five age groups responding to vignettes of hypothetical peers with depression and ADHD. The article reports that these three variables were "the three most important predictors of acceptance in all models"; no effect sizes are printed in the supplied text.
"The models indicated that age and gender of the participant, and the perceived responsibility of the target character for his/her condition, were the three most important predictors of acceptance in all models."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Relationships between socio-demographic and attributional variables and acceptance depend on the type of mental health problem (depression vs ADHD) — related
- Perceived responsibility of the target character for his/her condition predicts acceptance of peers with mental health problems — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
- Peer rejection incrementally predicts subsequent behavioral, emotional, and academic maladjustment in children with ADHD beyond ADHD status itself — related
