Subclaims¶

q3 i2 Participants in the positive-emotion profile group provided higher predictions than the negative and neutral groups, and more overconfident predictions than the other groups. → Prinz-Weiß 2023 q3 i2 The positive group provided less underconfident postdictions than the other groups, while the negative and neutral groups did not significantly differ from each other. → Prinz-Weiß 2023 (2)

q3 · i2 · associational · r2

Cluster analysis (Ward method, N = 343 after outlier removal) yielded three profiles: positive (n = 182), neutral (n = 72), negative (n = 89). ANOVA on predictions was significant, Welch's F(2, 156.88) = 13.34, p < .001, η2 = .07; planned contrasts supported the prediction hypothesis.

"the first contrast showed that participants in the positive group provided higher predictions than participants in the other groups, t(301,27) = 4.04, p < .001, η2 = .05."

ANOVA on postdiction accuracy across the three emotion-profile groups was significant, F(2, 340) = 6.25, p = .002, η2 = .04; the negative and neutral groups did not significantly differ (t(340) = 0.22, p = .829).

"the first contrast showed that participants in the positive group provided less underconfident postdictions than participants in the other groups, t(340) = 3.50, p < .001, η2 = .04."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Achievement Emotions — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes

Related Claims¶

• Stronger positive emotions are associated with more overconfident predictions, and stronger negative emotions (anxiety, shame, hopelessness) with more underconfident predictions — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
