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 i2 EFL students in the ChatGPT-integrated experimental group exhibited significantly higher writing motivation scores at post-test than control students, t(48) = 3.34, p = 0.001, Cohen's d = 0.52. → Song 2023

q3 · i2 · causal · r2
Independent-samples t-test comparing the ChatGPT-integrated experimental group with the conventionally taught control group on post-test writing motivation. The experimental group showed "significantly higher scores" with a "medium effect size (Cohen’s d = 0.52)"; means were M = 20.06 (SD = 3.33) versus M = 18.21 (SD = 3.58).
"In terms of writing motivation, the experimental group (M = 20.06, SD = 3.33) exhibited significantly higher scores compared to the control group (M = 18.21, SD = 3.58), t(48) = 3.34, p = 0.001, with a medium effect size (Cohen’s d = 0.52)."
