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.
q1 i? Qualitative clinical interviews revealed states of discomfort associated with mathematical failures, including tension, worry, frustration, anger, and psychosomatic symptoms, which patients said intensified negative academic outcomes. → Vigna Giulia 2022

q1 · i? · associational · r2
Qualitative description of psychological and clinical histories obtained through personal interviews with the DD patients. This is the authors' clinical annotation, not a tested comparison; patients reported these manifestations intensified negative academic outcomes and sometimes grounded need for psychotherapeutic treatment.
"Clinical reports documented negative emotions of tension, worry, frustration, anger, and psychosomatic symptoms such as stomachache and insomnia, particularly before exams."
