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.
q1 i? Judges who refuse or are disinclined to write names down in order of merit will do the ranking when presented with the card list form, which the author attributes to its appeal as a game and to the elimination of labor. → Stenquist 1918
Evidence¶
Stenquist 1918¶
Stenquist, J. L. (1918). An Improved Form for Rating by the Order of Merit Method. The Journal of Educational Psychology. https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=An+Improved+Form+for+Rating+by+the+Order+of+Merit+Method
q1 · i? · design · r1
The author's experiential claim from the Chief Advantages section: the form's "novelty" means reluctant judges "will do the ranking when presented with this form," attributed to the elimination of labor. No frequency count or systematic evidence is printed.
"One of the advantages of such a form lies in its novelty, for it is frequently found that a judge who refuses or is disinclined to write names down in order of merit, will do the ranking when presented with this form. It appeals to him as a sort of game."
