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.
q2 i? Time spent on independent study during lecture breaks positively predicted daily study satisfaction (b = 0.15) above and beyond lecture and independent study time, with no significant random-slope variance. → Liborius 2019

Liborius, P., Bellhäuser, H., & Schmitz, B. (2019). What makes a good study day? An intraindividual study on university students' time investment by means of time-series analyses. Learning and Instruction, 60, 310-321. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.learninstruc.2017.10.006
q2 · i? · associational · r2
Multilevel analysis testing Hypothesis 2 in the 105-student diary study. The article reports the breaks predictor was significant, that the random-slope model did not fit better (χ²(4) = 1.52, p > .05), and that it reduced residual variance by only 0.1%.
"Using breaks for independent study positively predicted students' daily study satisfaction (b using breaks for independent study = 0.15)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Effort positively predicts daily study satisfaction above and beyond time investment, breaks use, planning, and procrastination, with the full predictor set explaining 49.3% of intraindividual variance — related
- Planning the study day at its start positively predicts daily study satisfaction above and beyond time investment, with the relation differing between students — related
- Daily lecture time and independent study time each positively predict students' daily study satisfaction, with relations differing significantly between students — related
- Procrastination is the strongest negative predictor of daily study satisfaction, reducing satisfaction above and beyond time investment, planning, and effort — related
- Both lecture time and independent study time show a seven-day weekly rhythm, with lecture time peaking midweek and approaching zero on weekends — related
- Over a full term, aggregated lecture time decreases linearly while independent study time follows a negative quadratic trajectory, rising until the end of the lecture period and then declining — related
