q3 i0 Anxiety is not significantly associated with political learning in cross-sectional designs (r = 0.03). → Elisabeth Graf 2024 q3 i0 Anxiety is not significantly associated with political learning in experimental designs (r = 0.06). → Elisabeth Graf 2024 (2)

Evidence¶

Elisabeth Graf 2024¶

Elisabeth Graf, Johanna L. Donath, Elouise Botes, Martin Voracek, Thomas Goetz. (2024). The Associations Between Discrete Emotions and Political Learning: A Cross-Disciplinary Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Educational Psychology Review. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10648-024-09893-y

q3 · i0 · quant-synthesis · r2

Multilevel random-effects meta-analysis of cross-sectional studies (k = 19, N = 45 effect sizes) on anxiety and political learning, finding no significant overall association; equivalence was not tested.

"The model on anxiety did not reveal a significant overall association between anxiety and learning (r = 0.03, 95% CI [− 0.02, 0.07])"

q3 · i0 · quant-synthesis · r2

Multilevel random-effects meta-analysis of experimental studies (k = 16, N = 45 effect sizes) on anxiety and political learning, finding no significant association; equivalence was not tested.

"Regarding discrete emotions, no significant association could be found for anxiety (r = 0.06, 95% CI [− 0.04, 0.15])"
