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 i2 Ideal L2 self correlates significantly with self-efficacy (r = 0.34, p < 0.05), confirming on a quantitative basis the association reported qualitatively in prior Japanese EFL research. → Roshandel 2018

Regression/correlation results from the 210-learner survey show ideal L2 self (r = 0.34, p < 0.05 in Table 4) significantly predicting self-efficacy; the article states the results "generalize the findings of Michiko and Osamu (2012) on a quantitative basis using a survey and utilizing regression analysis".
"Concerning the relationship between ideal L2 self and self -efficacy, it was found that ideal L2 self positively and significantly predict student self -efficacy. The finding is in line with previous research."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- In the L2MSS, the L2 learning experience predicts intended effort most strongly, while the ideal L2 self is weaker than the theory argues — the general claim this finding bears on, with the studies behind it
- All ten sub-factors of the L2 motivational self-system correlate significantly and positively with L2 self-efficacy — a broader claim this one bears on
- Criterion measures, attitudes towards learning English, instrumentality promotion, and ideal L2 self are the strongest predictors of L2 self-efficacy — a broader claim this one bears on
