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 i? One-way ANOVA comparisons of engineering versus non-engineering participants showed no statistical difference on APSS Question 1 (p = 0.30) or Question 2 (p = 0.64); equivalence was not otherwise tested. → Jennifer M. Bekki 2014

q3 · i? · causal · r2
One-way ANOVA comparing APSS scores of engineering (N = 55) and non-engineering (N = 73) participants, using WLC group second-administration scores. The article reports "p = 0.30" and "p = 0.64", no statistical difference.
"comparison of the engineering vs. non-engineering participants for both Question 1 (p = 0.30) and Question 2 (p = 0.64) showed there was no statistical difference between groups."

- In an RCT, women STEM doctoral students who used CareerWISE showed greater knowledge of interpersonal problem solving steps than wait-list controls — related
- Longer APSS responses received higher scores, particularly for the scenario-application question (r = 0.70) — related
- Wait-list control participants scored significantly higher on both APSS questions after their own exposure to CareerWISE — related
- In an RCT, CareerWISE treatment participants showed a statistically better ability to apply interpersonal problem solving knowledge to an open-ended scenario than wait-list controls — related
