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 i1 Autonomous motivation fell significantly from pretest (M = 2.81, SD = 0.81) to posttest (M = 2.64, SD = 0.82), d = 0.254. → Louise Maddens 2023 q2 i0 Condition differences in change were not significant for autonomous motivation, d = -0.069, or controlled motivation, d = -0.090. → Louise Maddens 2023 (2)

q2 · i1 · causal · r2

Paired samples t-test in the results section; decreases were 0.19 in baseline and 0.15 in the need-supportive condition.

"students' (n = 215) autonomous motivation was higher on the pretest (M = 2.81, SD = 0.81) compared to the posttest (M = 2.64, SD = 0.82). The difference between the posttest and the pretest is significant t(214) = 3.72, p < 0.001, d = 0.254."

q2 · i0 · causal · r2

Independent samples t-tests on mean differences: both printed effect sizes (d = -0.069 and d = -0.090) are below d = 0.2. All motivation means stayed below the neutral score of 3.

"the increases/decreases on autonomous motivation [t(213) = - 0.506, p = 0.613, d = - 0.069] and controlled motivation [t(213) = - 0.656, p = 0.513, d = - 0.090] did not differ between the two groups."
