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 i3 All MAKQ dimensions negatively correlated with Conners-3 and BRIEF-2 parent-rated attention/executive scales (e.g., Conners Inattentive with control r = −0.65; BRIEF GEC with control r = −0.60). → Mulvihill 2025

Mulvihill, A., Matthews, N., Chidley, K., Macmahon, S., Armitage, K. L., Sherlock, D., Dux, P. E., & Carroll, A. (2025).

q2 · i3 · design · r2
Convergent validity analysis in Study Two (N = 83) correlating MAKQ dimensions with parent-rated Conners-3 and BRIEF-2; e.g., Conners DSM Inattentive Scale with meta-attention control r = −0.65, BRIEF Global Executive Composite r = −0.60, all p < .001 — correlations exceeding the |r| ≥ .37 threshold.
"The MAKQ demonstrated convergent validity with parent report measures of attention and executive functioning, with all correlations statistically significant (see Table 6). Correlation co-efficients between parent report measures of attention and executive functioning and each of the three dimensions of the MAKQ ranged from moderate to strong negative associations."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- MAKQ dimensions correlate moderately with each other, with strategy knowledge only weakly related to the self-perception scales — related
- MAKQ strategy knowledge, but not the self-perception scales, converges with behavioural inhibitory control on the Go-No-Go task — related
- The MAKQ dimensions show acceptable internal consistency across both studies (alphas 0.77-0.93) — related
