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 i2 Overall amotivation rose from pretest (M = 1.77, SD = 0.79) to posttest (M = 2.26, SD = 0.89), d = -0.524. → Louise Maddens 2023 q2 i1 The amotivation increase differed significantly between conditions, t(213) = 2.196, p = 0.029, d = 0.301, lower in the need-supportive group. → Louise Maddens 2023 (2)

q2 · i2 · causal · r2

Paired samples t-test in the results: the rise was significant, t(214) = -7.69, p < 0.001, d = -0.524, an unexpected finding given SDT hypotheses.

"Overall, students' (n = 215) amotivation was higher on the posttest (M = 2.26, SD = 0.89) compared to the pretest (M = 1.77, SD = 0.79)"

q2 · i1 · causal · r2

Independent samples t-test on mean differences between the 97 baseline and 118 need-supportive students: the increase was 0.65 in baseline versus 0.37 in the need-supportive group, d = 0.301.

"the increases in amotivation [t(213) = 2.196, p = 0.029, d = 0.301] does differ significantly between the two conditions. More specifically, the increase was lower in the need supportive condition compared to the baseline condition."
