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? Children's Turkish and German identity interactively predicted performance in the mixed trials of the Dot Task, with a positive interaction coefficient. → Spiegler O and Leyendecker B 2017
Evidence¶
Spiegler O and Leyendecker B 2017¶
Spiegler O and Leyendecker B (2017) Balanced Cultural Identities Promote Cognitive Flexibility among Immigrant Children. Front. Psychol. 8:1579. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2017.01579
q3 · i? · associational · r2
Moderation analyses with 225 Turkish-German children (M = 11 years, SD = 1.6) controlling gender, age, family income and prior-block performance found the Turkish × German identity interaction predicted mixed-trial accuracy; Table 1 reports an interaction coefficient of 3.05 (SE 1.23), p < 0.05, model R2 = 0.29.
"However, children's Turkish and German identity interactively predicted performance in the mixed trials. The positive interaction coefficient indicated that the relation between Turkish identity and accuracy in the mixed trials was more positive for children with higher levels of German identity."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Children's age did not moderate the link between bicultural identity and cognitive flexibility
- Balanced bicultural identity showed no relation to working memory or inhibitory control performance in congruent and incongruent Dot Task trials
- Dot Task accuracy decreased from congruent to incongruent to mixed trials, with condition accuracies positively correlated
- The identity interaction on mixed-trial accuracy held marginally when controlling for language abilities, which themselves did not predict performance — related
- The link between Turkish identity and mixed-trial accuracy was negative when German identity was low and marginally positive when German identity was high — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
