Subclaims¶

q3 i3 A positive correlation between years of education and pre SDLE scores was found for the FFG (r = 0.53) and a marginal one for the BLG (r = 0.34). → Martínez-Alcalá CI 2018 q3 i? Age was not significantly correlated with pre SDLE scores in either group. → Martínez-Alcalá CI 2018 (2)

Martínez-Alcalá CI 2018¶

q3 · i3 · causal · r1

Spearman correlation analysis in the Results section relating years of education to pre SDLE scores for each group; r = 0.53 (FFG) and r = 0.34 (BLG, described as marginal). Age and education were inversely but non-significantly correlated in both groups.

"Nevertheless, a positive correlation between years of education and the pre SDLE scores was found for the FFG and a marginal one for the BLG ( r = 0.53, p < 0.01; r = 0.34, p < 0.05, respectively)."

q3 · i? · causal · r1

Spearman correlations between age and pre SDLE scores were non-significant in both groups; no effect size beyond the printed r values is reported, and equivalence was not tested.

"Neither between age and the pre FFG SDLE scores, nor between age and the pre BLG SDLE scores ( r = − 0.17, p > 0.10; r = − 0.01, p > 0.10, respectively)."
