Subclaims¶

q2 i? Among the three profiles, only the DR group significantly outperformed the CI group on rated task performance (Kruskal-Wallis H = 9.437, p = .009); differences between other pairs did not reach significance. → Zhanxin Hao 2026

q2 · i? · associational · r1

Kruskal-Wallis comparison of expert-rated task performance across the three clusters (DR N = 78, CI N = 55, DE N = 40). The article reports H = 9.437, p = .009, with post hoc tests showing "the DR group significantly outperformed the CI on task performance"; no effect size is printed.

"The analysis revealed that there was significant difference among the three groups, H = 9.437, p = .009. The post hoc tests indicated that the DR group significantly outperformed the CI on task performance"
