q3 · i? · associational · r2

Multivariate logistic regression in 133 junior high students (50 not motivated), adjusted for grade and gender. Tertile 3 (≤5) versus Tertile 1 (≥7) showed "OR: 5.10, 95% CI: 1.88 to 13.86"; p for trend = .003.

"Digit span forward test score ([Tertile 2 (6) vs. Tertile 1 (≥7); OR: 3.41, 95% CI: 1.39 to 8.33; Tertile 3 ( ≤5) vs. Tertile 1 ( ≥7); OR: 5.10, 95% CI: 1.88 to 13.86; p = .003])"
