Subclaims¶

q2 i? The proportion of Dysfunctional behaviors correlated significantly negatively with dyadic posttest scores (Kendall's τ = −0.31, P < 0.05). → Rachel Lam 2019 q2 i? The proportion of Functional behaviors showed a non-significant positive correlation with posttest scores (Kendall's τ = 0.24, P = 0.09); equivalence was not tested. → Rachel Lam 2019 (2)

q2 · i? · associational · r1

One-tailed Kendall's tau correlations computed at the dyad level (20 dyads), collapsing across conditions, on proportions of Functional and Dysfunctional behaviors within micro-failure episodes. The negative "Kendall's τ = −0.31, P < 0.05" for Dysfunctional behaviors reached significance.

"There was a non-significant positive correlation between Functional behaviors and posttest scores, Kendall's τ = 0.24, P = 0.09, and a significant negative correlation between Dysfunctional behaviors and posttest scores, Kendall's τ = −0.31, P < 0.05."

q2 · i? · associational · r1

Same dyad-level correlational analysis of behavior proportions; the Functional-behavior correlation was positive but non-significant ("Kendall's τ = 0.24, P = 0.09"), so no effect size conclusion is drawn beyond the printed τ.

"There was a non-significant positive correlation between Functional behaviors and posttest scores, Kendall's τ = 0.24, P = 0.09, and a significant negative correlation between Dysfunctional behaviors and posttest scores, Kendall's τ = −0.31, P < 0.05."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Contrasting cases show the highest-scoring dyad (Select) engaged in inquiry, questioning, explaining, and argumentation to consensus during micro-failures, while the lowest-scoring dyad (Generate) showed dominance, unexplained disagreement, and off-task behavior — related
• Posttest scores were not significantly correlated with the number of micro-failures or with any single dialogic behavior — related
• No significant differences between Select and Generate conditions in the proportions of functional or dysfunctional behaviors, though the means aligned with the posttest results — related
• Employment of a mastery criterion was positively associated with PND scores (τ = .168, p = .023) — related
