Subclaims¶

q3 i? Most cross-level interactions with HDI, Education Index, and GDP per capita were non-significant or below .05; the only exceptions were stronger positive effects of student achievement on reading enjoyment in countries with higher HDI (β = .066) and Education Index (β = .076). → Basarkod 2023

Evidence¶

Basarkod 2023¶

Basarkod, G., Marsh, H. W., Guo, J., Parker, P. D., Dicke, T., & Pekrun, R. (2023). The Happy-Fish-Little-Pond Effect on Enjoyment: Generalizability Across Multiple Domains and Countries. https://osf.io/kb29h/

q3 · i? · associational · r2

Cross-level interaction analyses between country-level moderators (HDI, Education Index, GDP per capita) and the fixed effects in the three-level models; detailed results are in Supplementary Materials Tables S3-S5.

"The only exceptions were that the positive effect of student-level achievement on reading enjoyment was stronger in countries with higher HDIs (β = .066) and Education Index (β = .076). Thus, following Marsh et al. (2020), the effects of student- and class-level achievement on enjoyment are relatively robust to the moderators examined here."
