q2 i? A one-way ANOVA revealed a significant difference between surveys in CMS metacognition, with survey 3 (youngest sample) showing a significantly higher score (lower metacognitive ability) than surveys 1 and 2. → dos Santos Kawata KH 2021

A one-way ANOVA compared CMS scores across the three surveys. CMS metacognition differed significantly between surveys [F(2, 630) = 15.4, p < 0.01], but CMS self-judgment accuracy did not [F(2, 630) = 1.4, p = 0.24].

"A one-way ANOV A revealed a significant difference between surveys in the CMS metacognition [F(2, 630)= 15.4, p < 0.01] but not in CMS self-judgment accuracy [F(2, 630)= 1.4, p= 0.24]."

Bonferroni post-hoc tests showed survey 3 (mean = 4.7, SD = 2.6) had a significantly higher CMS metacognition score (lower metacognitive ability) than surveys 1 (mean = 3.5, SD = 2.1) and 2 (mean = 3.5, SD = 2.1).

"For the CMS metacognition, a Bonferroni post-hoc test showed that survey 3 (mean= 4.7, SD= 2.6) presented with a significantly higher score (i.e., lower metacognitive ability) compared to surveys 1 (mean= 3.5, SD= 2.1) and 2 (mean= 3.5, SD= 2.1)."
