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.
q2 i? The slope × K engagement interaction marginally predicted G1 engagement (b23 = 12.62, p = .06); simple slopes were significant at low (b2 = −6.9, p < .001) and average (b2 = −4.68, p = .01) K engagement but not high (b2 = −2.46, p = .42). → Hernández 2018

q2 · i? · associational · r2
Simple-slopes analysis of the slope × K engagement interaction (b23 = 12.62, p = .06) in latent moderated structural modeling. The interaction model had better AIC (ΔAIC = −3.89) and BIC (ΔBIC = −.19).
"the negative expressivity slope was negatively associated with school engagement in G1 for children with low (i.e., 1 SD below the mean; b2 = −6.9, p < .001) and average school engagement in kindergarten (b2 = −4.68, p = .01). The negative expressivity slope was not associated with school engagement in G1 for children with high initial school engagement (i.e., 1 SD above the mean; b2 = −2.46, p = .42)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- The negative expressivity trajectory marginally inversely predicted first-grade passage comprehension, significantly so only for children with lower kindergarten passage comprehension — related
- Higher kindergarten negative expressivity and steeper negative expressivity trajectories each inversely predicted first-grade observed school engagement — related
