q2 i? Achievement level led to material choice, and choice-specific reasons reflected ability and effort attributions in the printed path model. → Sabine Schlag 2024

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Path analysis of Study 2 data using Weiner-based ability and effort reason items, with model fit reported as moderate. The article reports the text was chosen because the student was "perceived as high-achieving and as high in effort"; video reasons were lower ability and effort evaluations.

"The path analysis was conducted as outlined in Fig. 4, which had a moderate fit, χ2(df = 3) = 55.198, p < .001. In the path analysis, achievement level led to material choice."
