Subclaims¶

q3 i0 Fluid reasoning significantly predicted enjoyment (β = 0.09, p = .03) but did not significantly predict self-efficacy. → Martin Andrew J. 2023

Evidence¶

Martin Andrew J. 2023¶

Martin Andrew J., Ginns Paul, Collie Rebecca J. (2023). University students in COVID-19 lockdown: The role of adaptability and fluid reasoning in supporting their academic motivation and engagement. Learning and Instruction. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.learninstruc.2022.101712

q3 · i0 · associational · r2

SEM result for fluid reasoning (ICAR Letter and Number Series, 9 items, 30 s per item). The authors report a "small effect" on enjoyment and a non-significant path to self-efficacy once adaptability and background attributes were accounted for.

"Fluid reasoning significantly predicted enjoyment (β = 0.09, p = .03; small effect), but it did not predict self-efficacy (the hypothesized mediator)."

Discussion¶
