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.

q3 i? None of the nine within-person reciprocal paths from fairness to trust reached conventional significance (β = 0.03–0.07, all p > 0.10). → Fu L 2026 q3 i? Model comparison showed constraining trust-to-fairness paths worsened fit significantly while constraining reciprocal paths did not. → Fu L 2026 (2)

q3 · i? · associational · r2

RI-CLPM reciprocal cross-lagged estimates (N = 450); all nine fairness-to-trust paths also remained non-significant under BH-FDR correction.

"None of the nine within-person reciprocal paths reached conventional significance after random-intercept partitioning (β = 0.03–0.07, all p > 0.10), with Procedural Justice T1 → Integrity Trust T2 the closest to the threshold ( β = 0.07, p = 0.089)."

q3 · i? · associational · r2

Chi-square difference tests comparing the focal RI-CLPM against constrained models, supporting the asymmetry: trust changes precede fairness changes more reliably than the reverse at the intra-individual level.

"constraining the within-person trust→fairness paths to zero produced a significant decrement in fit, Δχ2(9) = 24.61, p = 0.003, whereas constraining the within-person reciprocal paths to zero did not significantly worsen fit, Δχ2(9) = 8.92, p = 0.445"
