Subclaims¶

q3 i3 A repeated measures ANOVA on confidence ratings revealed a main effect of statement type (η² = .33); children were more confident endorsing old statements than new or hybrid ones, and more confident accepting hybrids than new statements. → Bauer 2020

Confidence-rating analysis in Experiment 2 (one-way repeated measures ANOVA, 4-point Likert scale). "the ANOVA revealed a main effect of statement type, F(2, 98) = 48.30, p < .001, η2 = .33." Children were also significantly more confident accepting hybrid than new statements.

"the ANOVA revealed a main effect of statement type, F(2, 98) = 48.30, p < .001, η2 = .33. Follow-up comparisons with Bonferroni corrections revealed that children were significantly more confident in their judgments for old statements than new or hybrid statements."
