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? Bivariate correlations showed interference and lack of confidence negatively related to all performance measures, while arousal related only to intelligence and fact retrieval and worry only to intelligence and higher-order mathematics. → Schillinger 2021

q3 · i? · associational · r3
Bivariate correlation analysis (Table 1) among 730 university students; e.g., interference with facts r = -.19, lack of confidence with procedures r = -.17, worry with intelligence r = -.09*, arousal with intelligence r = -.11**. The article reports "interference and lack of confidence showed highly significant negative correlations with all performance measures."
"In contrast, interference and lack of confidence showed highly significant negative correlations with all performance measures."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Arousal showed a positive relationship with final high school mathematics grade when controlling for the other test anxiety facets — related
- Interference and lack of confidence, but not worry or arousal, explain unique variance in university students' standardized test performance — related
- The present results replicate Donati et al.'s (2019) finding that interference and lack of confidence, but not worry, relate to arithmetic test performance, extending it to unique variance and domain-general intelligence — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- Worry did not explain unique variance in students' test performance or mathematics grade, challenging the worry-based explanation of the test anxiety-performance link — related
