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? Mastery goals predicted requesting the detailed text, whereas performance goals predicted requesting the grade, two weeks after the conflict task. → Darnon 2006
q3 i? Performance goals significantly predicted requesting the grade; mastery goals did not. → Darnon 2006 (2)
Evidence¶
Darnon 2006¶
Darnon, C., Muller, D., Schrager, S. M., Pannuzzo, N., & Butera, F. (2006). Mastery and Performance Goals Predict Epistemic and Relational Conflict Regulation. Journal of Educational Psychology, 98(4), 766–776. https://doi.org/10.1037/0022-0663.98.4.766
q3 · i? · associational · r1
Study 2 logistic regression on the binary request measure showed "Mastery goals significantly predicted the request for the text" (B = 0.55, Wald χ² = 4.88, p < .03); performance goals and the interaction were non-significant.
"Mastery goals significantly predicted the request for the text ( B /H11005 0.55), Wald /H92732(1, N /H1100563) /H110054.88, p /H11021.03. The more participants endorsed mastery goals, the more they asked for the detailed text."
Darnon 2006 (2)¶

Study 2 logistic regression showed "the more participants endorsed performance goals, the more they asked for their grade" (B = 0.41, Wald χ² = 4.22, p < .04); mastery goals (B = −0.21, p = .39) and the interaction were non-significant.
"As expected, the more participants endorsed performance goals, the more they asked for their grade ( B /H110050.41), Wald /H92732(1, N /H11005 63) /H110054.22, p /H11021.04."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
