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.
q2 i? Confirmatory factor analyses at T1 and T2 show the five-factor model (social comparison-related belief in math/German, dimensional comparison-related belief, temporal comparison-related belief in math/German) fits best, indicating the five beliefs are empirically distinguishable. → Boosting Students' Academic Self-Concepts 2024

q2 · i? · associational · r?
Confirmatory factor analyses comparing one-, three-, and five-factor models at T1 and T2 with all participants (N = 857). The five-factor model showed the best fit (T1: RMSEA = .053, CFI = .960; T2: RMSEA = .042, CFI = .985), and the authors conclude the "beliefs are also empirically distinguishable".
"Both the fit indices and the factor loadings show that the five-factor model fit the best. We can therefore assume that the beliefs are also empirically distinguishable."
