Subclaims¶

q3 i? The effect of Sequence Type on ES references in essays was non-significant. → Franco Londra 2025

Evidence¶

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Chi-square test of independence on ES references in essays (n = 76). The article reports "the effect of Sequence Type was non-significant, X2(3) = 1.45, p >.69"; ES references ranged from 17.6% to 35% across conditions. Equivalence was not tested.

"For references to the ES, the effect of Sequence Type was non-significant, X2(3) = 1.45, p >.69"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• References to document sources showed a significant sequence-type by position interaction, driven by first-position texts in the HT-LT sequence; the hypothesized increase in mixed sequences was only partly supported
• Embedded-source and document-source trustworthiness scores differed, suggesting an interplay between layers rather than one-layered reflection
• After reading the first text, embedded-source trustworthiness evaluations did not vary between sequences
• Embedded-source trustworthiness evaluations shift toward the trustworthiness of the most recent document source in mixed sequences
• Embedded-source trustworthiness evaluations do not change across positions when both document sources have similar trustworthiness
