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 i? Among seventh graders, the Turkish × German identity interaction on mixed-trial accuracy remained marginally significant with language abilities controlled (β = 0.03, p = 0.081), while language abilities did not interactively predict accuracy controlling for identity (β = 0.00, p = 0.955). → Spiegler O and Leyendecker B 2017

q2 · i? · associational · r2
Post hoc regression analyses with seventh graders only added self-reported Turkish and German language abilities as controls; the identity interaction held only marginally, and language abilities did not interactively predict accuracy when identity was controlled. The authors call these analyses highly underpowered.
"This was the case but only at a marginal significant level, β= 0.03, p= 0.081, F(10, 51)= 2.75, p= 0.009, R2= 0.35."

- Dot Task accuracy decreased from congruent to incongruent to mixed trials, with condition accuracies positively correlated
- Turkish and German identity interactively predicted accuracy on mixed Dot Task trials requiring cognitive flexibility among immigrant-origin children — 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 — related
- Children's age did not moderate the link between bicultural identity and cognitive flexibility — related
- Balanced bicultural identity showed no relation to working memory or inhibitory control performance in congruent and incongruent Dot Task trials — related
