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 The proportion of students choosing the researcher as most convincing was higher with ERS (62.1%) than without (33.1%); ERS was a significant logistic-regression predictor (OR=3.326). → Colin Lescarret 2022

q3 · i2 · causal · r2
Chi-square and binomial logistic regression on students' convincingness choice in the experiment, association size "Cramer’s V=.291" (χ²(1)=22.1, p<.001). ERS was a significant predictor (Estimate=1.202, Z=4.641, p<.001, OR=3.326); the instructional video was not (OR=1.149, p=.592); R²CS=.083. The article calls this mixed support for Hypothesis 3a.
"a significant association between the proportion of students who considered the researcher to be the most convincing interviewee and the factor Embedded Rating Scales was found, χ²(1)=22.1, p<.001, Cramer’s V=.291"

- Middle-schoolers judge a speaker presented as a researcher as more expert and more trustworthy than one presented as a consumer — related
- Watching the sourcing instructional video unexpectedly lowered students' trustworthiness ratings of the interviewees — related
- Combining the instructional video with embedded rating scales yielded the highest immediate recognition, but the advantage faded by delayed posttest — related
