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 i? Two studies of communication competency yielded contrasting results (g = −0.06 vs. g = 1.25 favoring IVR), and single studies reported greater emotional intelligence gains and stress reduction in IVR groups with no significant cognitive load increase. → Li Xia 2026

q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3
Narrative synthesis of affective outcomes assessed by one or two studies each, not meta-analyzed due to insufficient data. Emotional intelligence showed significantly higher post-test scores in the IVR group (M = 5.48 vs. M = 4.19; p < 0.001); cognitive load showed numerically higher but nonsignificant levels in the IVR group (p = 0.21).
"For communication competency, two studies yielded contrasting results: Lee et al. [40] found no significant differences between IVR and conventional education (Hedges’ g = −0.06, 95% CI: −0.54 to 0.42) [40], while Mayor Silva et al. (2023) demonstrated a large significant effect favoring IVR (Hedges’ g = 1.25, 95% CI: 0.82–1.68)"
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Emotional Intelligence — outcome: instruction changes it
