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 i2 Changes of the general direction of an answer toward agreement with the partner occurred significantly more often than changes toward disagreement (d = 0.58). → Schnaubert 2021

q3 · i2 · causal · r2
Within-subject experiment comparing change-to-agree versus change-to-disagree occurrences per participant. Learners changed on average 2.3 times to agree and 1.13 times to disagree; the paired t-test found people changed "significantly more often to agree with a partner than to disagree (t(59) = 4.44, p < 0.001, d = 0.58)".
"We conducted a t-test for paired samples to test for differences in occurrence and found a highly significant difference with people changing their assumptions significantly more often to agree with a partner than to disagree (t(59) = 4.44, p < 0.001, d = 0.58)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Learners converge toward an unknown other's assumptions after seeing the other's answers and confidence, reducing the distance between their own and the partner's answers — related
- Perceived partner competence does not predict how often learners change the direction of their assumptions — related
- Partner confidence does not significantly affect whether learners change their assumption in the face of disagreement — related
- Learners with lower own confidence are more inclined to change their assumption in the face of disagreement — related
- The more confident a learning partner's answers, the more competent the partner is perceived — related
