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? The more autonomy granting mothers reported in Grade 2, the more task-persistent behavior teachers reported children exhibiting in Grade 3, controlling for academic performance. → Viljaranta 2017

q3 · i? · associational · r3
Cross-lagged path model of 365 parent–teacher–child triads across Grades 2–4, using mother-reported assistance and teacher-rated task persistence (BSRS). The final model (CFI = .96, TLI = .90, RMSEA = .080, SRMR = .040) showed that "maternal autonomy granting predicted children’s task persistence positively" from Grade 2 to Grade 3. No standardized coefficient for this path is printed.
"maternal autonomy granting predicted children’s task persistence positively, and maternal help predicted children’s task persistence negatively from grade 2 to grade 3"
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Motivation — outcome: instruction changes it
Related Claims¶
- Children's task persistence positively predicts mothers' later autonomy granting across both grade transitions — related
- Weak indirect effects link Grade 2 autonomy granting and help to Grade 4 performance via Grade 3 task persistence; monitoring and reverse indirect effects are not significant — related
- Maternal help in Grade 2 negatively predicts children's task persistence in Grade 3, with no prediction from Grade 3 to Grade 4 — related
- Children's Grade 3 task persistence negatively predicts mothers' Grade 4 help and monitoring, but not earlier — related
- Maternal monitoring does not predict children's task persistence at any measurement point — related
