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.

q2 i? Autonomy frustration positively correlated with both active and passive disengagement. → Stephen R. Earl 2016

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Bivariate correlation analysis (Table 1) of the survey variables: "Autonomy frustration was found to positively correlate with both types of disengagement", i.e. both the teacher-rated active and passive measures.

"Autonomy frustration was found to positively correlate with both types of disengagement."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

Affect Regulation — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes

Autonomy frustration directly and positively predicts teacher-rated active disengagement, not explained by reduced vitality — related
Teacher psychological control relates indirectly to reduced vitality and to both disengagement forms through the two need frustrations — related
Competence frustration is indirectly and positively associated with teacher-rated passive disengagement via reduced subjective vitality — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
