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? Treatment group participants showed a statistically better ability to describe how they would apply interpersonal problem solving knowledge to a relevant open-ended scenario than wait-list control participants (p < 0.01). → Jennifer M. Bekki 2014

q3 · i? · causal · r2
One-way ANOVA comparing treatment (N = 64) and wait-list control (N = 64) groups on APSS Question 2, a performance assessment asking participants to apply problem solving steps to a realistic graduate-student scenario. The article reports the difference as significant at "p < 0.01".
"participants in the treatment group showed a statistically better ability to show how they would apply their interpersonal problem solving knowledge to a relevant, open ended scenario (p < 0.01)."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Social Awareness and Relationship Skills — outcome: instruction changes it
