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.
q3 i? Control-group students who read the explanatory text before the problem showed no significant changes in epistemic curiosity or situational interest across measurements. → Henk G. Schmidt & Jerome I. Rotgans 2021
Evidence¶
Henk G. Schmidt & Jerome I. Rotgans 2021¶
Henk G. Schmidt & Jerome I. Rotgans. (2021). Epistemic Curiosity and Situational Interest: Distant Cousins or Identical Twins?. Educational Psychology Review. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10648-020-09539-9
q3 · i? · causal · r2
Repeated-measures ANOVAs in the control condition (n = 74) of the 148-student experiment. No significant pairwise differences emerged ("none of these differences emerged"), consistent with the knowledge-gap hypothesis that prior knowledge prevents arousal.
"In the control condition, none of these differences emerged. These data suggest that only among students in the treatment condition, having no prior knowledge of the explanation of the Mpemba problem, epistemic curiosity and situational interest increased"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- In the treatment condition, both epistemic curiosity and situational interest increased after problem presentation and decreased after the explanatory text — reports the opposite
- A manipulation check confirmed control students referenced the evaporation explanation more often than treatment students — related
