Subclaims¶

q3 i? Both the experimental group (3.93 to 3.60) and the control group (4.00 to 3.60) showed statistically significant decreases in conflict orientation after post-test. → Abel Gitimu Waithaka 2015

q3 · i? · causal · r1

Paired samples t-test on conflict orientation totals with a one-week interval between pre- and post-testing; the experimental group mean decreased significantly from 3.93 to 3.60 and the control group mean from 4.00 to 3.60, with the article reporting "statistically significant difference in both experimental and control groups after the post-test."

"Since the decrease was in both experimental and control groups, then the decrease cannot be ascribed to the training."
