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 Across all time points, cognitive support correlated modestly with emotional responsiveness (r = .20–.39) but not with intrusiveness or negativity, indicating the two support dimensions are largely distinct in structured problem-solving contexts. → Zeytinoglu 2019

q3 · i2 · associational · r2
Correlational analysis among observed maternal behavior ratings across the three waves (Table 3 prints cognitive support–responsiveness correlations of r = .20–.39, p < .01). The article concludes this support dimension is "largely independent from overall emotional supportiveness"; the mid-range correlations correspond to a medium effect.
"cognitive support was associated modestly with responsiveness, but not with intrusiveness or negativity, suggesting that this aspect of caregiving is largely independent from overall emotional supportiveness and particularly negative aspects of caregiving"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Greater maternal emotional support during problem-solving predicts greater child cognitive flexibility one year later, in both the preschool-to-kindergarten and kindergarten-to-first-grade intervals — related
- Higher levels of maternal help, press for intellectual development, and monitoring are associated with poorer children's arithmetic skills — related
- Non-Hispanic White children showed better cognitive flexibility and received more emotionally supportive caregiving than children from minority backgrounds — related
- Mothers' cognitive support during problem-solving did not predict children's later cognitive flexibility — related
