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? Using a scoring rule counting ties as ½, valence predictions were correct for 60 of 63 scored cases (95.2%) and content predictions for 58.5 of 64 (91.4%). → Marsh 2025

Descriptive Pred-vs-Obs summary (Table 3) of bivariate associations between the six BPNSFS facets and 64 workplace variables from the Australian Principal OHS&W Survey. The article reports "valence predictions were correct for 60 of 63 scored cases (95.2%)".
"Using this rule, valence predictions were correct for 60 of 63 scored cases (95.2%), and content predictions were correct for 58.5 of 64 (91.4%; 58 correct, 1 tie, 5 wrong)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- The BPNSFS 3×2 six-facet structure (three needs × satisfaction/frustration) fits Australian school-leader data excellently and better than models collapsing valence — related
- Three-facet MTMM (content × valence × time) supports the SDT 3×2 architecture, with content the stronger separative force and 20 of 21 planned comparisons supported — related
- Classic two-facet MTMM analysis supports convergent and discriminant validity of the six BPNSFS facets across time — related
- Autonomy shows a strong content signal: 53 of 64 outcomes satisfy the a priori autonomy rule, with exceptions for self-efficacy (competence) and collegial support (relatedness) — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- Consistent with the dual process model, autonomy-outcome correlations are stronger when the valence of need experience and outcome match — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
