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? Mediation analyses revealed no significant mediation effect of anger for conceptual change or transfer, not supporting Hypothesis 4. → Anja Prinz 2022

q2 · i? · causal · r2
Bootstrap mediation analysis (Hayes procedure, 10,000 bootstrap samples) run on the two refutation-text conditions only, with condition as predictor, anger as mediator. "the confidence intervals included zero" for both outcomes, so no mediation was found.
"Neither concerning conceptual change, b = −0.04, SE = 0.06, 95% BCa CI [−0.15, 0.08], nor concerning transfer, b = −0.01, SE = 0.05, 95% BCa CI [−0.14, 0.04], did the results reveal a significant mediation effect as the confidence intervals included zero."
