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.
q2 i? The expert-minus-layperson discernment score is predicted by justification by authority, openness to revising one's viewpoint, and age, and negatively by personal justification. → Brivael Hémon 2025

q2 · i? · associational · r2
Third multiple regression (Results §4.2) on the discernment score; "the openness to revising one's viewpoint (β = .23, p < .001)" carried the largest printed coefficient among the significant predictors. No standardised effect size is printed for this finding.
"This score was predicted by two dimensions of the Internet-specific epistemic justification inventory, the personal justification (β = -.14, p = .019) and the justification by authority (β = .15, p = .031), the openness to revising one's viewpoint (β = .23, p < .001), and age (β = .16, p = .005)"
