Subclaims¶

q2 i? In a cross-sectional study of 313 college students, a canonical correlation analysis of six conscientiousness facets and nine MSLQ scales was significant, with 57% of variance shared between the variable sets. → Ulrich Trautwein 2026

q2 · i? · review · r2

Cross-sectional observational study of 313 college students administering nine MSLQ subscales and six Chernyshenko Conscientiousness Scales facets; the canonical model was significant (Wilk's 𝜆 = 0.426, F(54, 1534.3) = 5.17, p < .001) and "57% of the variance is shared".

"The full model across all six functions was statistically significant, Wilk's 𝜆 = 0.426, F(54, 1534.3) = 5.17, p < .001. The full model effect size was r2 = .57, which indicates that 57% of the variance is shared between the CSS and MSLQ variable sets."
