Subclaims¶

q3 i? Creativity significantly predicted total levels solved (β = .39, p < .001) and silver coins (β = .27, p = .001), but was not a significant predictor of gold coins (β = .11, p = .17). → Shute 2020

q3 · i? · associational · r2

Three separate multiple regressions with 167 students tested whether the creativity estimate predicted game performance controlling for pretest. The estimate "significantly predicted silver coins earned" and levels solved (βcreativity = .39); gold coins was not significant (β = .11, p = .17). No standardized effect size was printed, so impact is null.

"our creativity estimate significantly predicted silver coins earned (βcreativity =.27, t = 3.29, p =.001; βpretest = -.09, t = -1.04, p = .30; F(2, 163) = 5.44, p = .005, R2 = .05), and total number of levels solved (βcreativity =.39, t = 5.20, p <.001"
