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? Condition effects were non-significant for depression, interest, sleep frequency, and mind-wandering; equivalence was not tested. → Ayame Tamura 2022

q3 · i? · causal · r2
Linear mixed-effects final models for the remaining four dependent variables in the nine-lesson classroom intervention. The condition effects on "depression, interest, sleep frequency, and mind-wandering" were all non-significant (Table 3, unstandardised B with exercise coded 1 and control −1: depression −0.04, P = 0.08; interest 0.04, P = 0.11; sleep frequency −0.06, P = 0.20; mind-wandering −0.05, P = 0.43). No standardised effect size is printed, so impact is coded i?; non-significance here does not show the effects are zero, and equivalence was not tested.
"The condition effects were not significant in the models predicting depression, interest, sleep frequency, and mind-wandering."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
