Subclaims¶

q3 i? Participants who received high-performance feedback had higher performance expectations than those who received low-performance feedback; older adults had lower expectations than younger adults; higher control beliefs were associated with higher expectations; no interactions were significant. → Soederberg Miller 2010

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Hierarchical regression (Model 2) predicting performance expectations in the same false-feedback experiment. The article reports "main effects of feedback, β = .38, p < .001" and an age effect of β = −.22, p < .01, plus a control-beliefs main effect of β = .25, p < .01; no interaction terms reached significance (p > .10 for all).

"We found main effects of feedback, β = .38, p < .001, showing that those in the high-PFB group had higher expectations than those in the low-PFB group. We also found a significant effect of age, β = −.22, p < .01, indicating that older adults had lower expectations than did younger adults."

• Age negatively and education positively predict memory self-efficacy, and age negatively predicts memory performance — related
• The false feedback manipulation successfully altered performance beliefs: the high-PFB group rated their performance higher relative to age peers than the low-PFB group — related
