Subclaims¶

q3 i? Curiosity increased the likelihood of knowledge exploration after both correct and incorrect answers; surprise predicted exploration only after incorrect answers. → Berweger 2023 q3 i? Confusion and anxiety positively related to exploration after correct answers, but confusion, anxiety, and anger did not predict exploration after incorrect answers. → Berweger 2023 (2)

Evidence¶

Berweger 2023¶

Berweger, B., Kracke, B., & Dietrich, J. (2023). Preservice Teachers' Epistemic and Achievement Emotions When Confronted With Common Misconceptions About Education. https://doi.org/10.1037/edu0000792

q3 · i? · associational · r2

Bayesian binary logistic regression (Model 3) on knowledge exploration requests across 15 trials per participant (N = 275); printed coefficients are unstandardized betas with 95% BCIs, no standardized effect size.

"Our results concerning H3a showed that curiosity increased the likelihood of knowledge exploration both after correct and incorrect answers, while surprise predicted exploration only after incorrect answers."

Berweger 2023 (2)¶

q3 · i? · associational · r2

Same Model 3 analysis; contrary to H3b, "neither confusion nor anxiety or anger predicted knowledge exploration after incorrect answers," deviating from Vogl et al. (2019). Pride also did not predict exploration after correct answers, contrary to H3c.

"Unexpectedly, we found that participants’ confusion and anxiety positively related to knowledge exploration after correctly rejecting a misconception (i.e., correct answers)."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Achievement Emotions — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes

Related Claims¶

• Making high-confidence errors about educational misconceptions intensifies preservice teachers' surprise, curiosity, confusion, and achievement-related anger — related
• Without feedback, people are more curious about high-confidence errors than about equally high-confidence correct answers, replicated across experiments — related
