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? In the APPS group, gender (β = .272), age (β = .236), and attitude (β = -.175) each significantly predicted rape myth acceptance, with the regression explaining 16% of variance. → Litam 2019
q3 i? In the ATTS group, gender (β = .178) significantly predicted rape myth acceptance, explaining 7% of variance. → Litam 2019 (2)

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Hierarchical regression on the APPS group (N = 193) predicting IRMA-SF scores from demographics entered in order (gender, race, education, age, experience) then attitudes. Negative attitude coefficient indicates stronger sexual domination discourse attitudes predicted lower rape myth acceptance.
"The results of the regression were significant within the APPS group (R2 = 156, F(6,186) = 5.717, p < .05). Gender significantly predicted rape myth acceptance (β = .272, p < .05), as did age (β = .236, p < .05) and attitude (β = -.175, p < .05)."

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Parallel hierarchical regression on the ATTS group (N = 203). Only gender was an individually significant predictor; attitude was not significant in this group (p = .265 in Table 4).
"The results of the regression were significant within the ATTS group (R2 = .065, F(6,194) = 2.231, p < .05). Gender significantly predicted rape myth acceptance (β = .178, p < .05) and explained 7% of the variance within the ATTS group."
