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? Pre-to-post self-reported SSRS overall competence scores increased significantly in the ART group (F(1, 208) = 4.75, p < .05) but not in the control group (F(1, 208) = 1.34, p = .25). → Koposov 2014

q2 · i? · causal · r2
Quasi-experimental evaluation with 232 children from six schools and four social institutions in North-West Russia, analysed by repeated measures ANOVA on SSRS self-report scores. The ART contrast was significant while "the control group) was not significant"; no effect size is printed.
"The first contrast (i.e. pre vs. post scores within the ART group) indicated a significant effect, F (1, 208) = 4.75, p < .05. The second contrast (i.e. pre vs. p ost scores within the control group) was not significant, F (1 , 208) = 1.34, p = .25."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Social Awareness and Relationship Skills — outcome: instruction changes it
Related Claims¶
- ART effects on self-reported social competence are moderated by age, with reliable effects in the 6-9 and 10-14 groups but not among children aged 15 and older — related
- An ANCOVA controlling for age, sex and institution found no significant effect of the ART intervention on change in self-reported competence scores — reports the opposite
- Younger ART participants showed increased self-reported scores on all four SSRS subscales (cooperation, assertion, empathy, self-control) from pre to post, whereas no changes were observed in the control group — related
- Parent and teacher ratings of social competence improved markedly from pre to post in both ART and control groups, with no differences between the groups — related
- Parent and teacher ratings of externalizing problem behaviour decreased from pre to post in both intervention and control groups, with no other significant effects — related
