Subclaims¶

q3 i1 The Test Moment x Gender Model interaction on perceived competence was significant (gp 2 = .029), with larger gains under a male model irrespective of observer gender. → Vincent Hoogerheide 2016

Evidence¶

Vincent Hoogerheide 2016¶

Vincent Hoogerheide, Sofie M. M. Loyens, Tamara van Gog. (2016). Learning from video modeling examples: does gender matter? Instructional Science, 44, 69-86. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11251-015-9360-y

q3 · i1 · causal · r2

Mixed ANOVA on perceived competence in the 2x2 experiment: significant Test Moment x Gender Model interaction with printed effect size "gp 2 = .029"; male-model gains (3.32 to 4.98) exceeded female-model gains (3.46 to 4.67) for both observer genders.

"The interaction between Test Moment and Gender Model was significant, F(1, 159) = 4.81, p = .030, gp 2 = .029. A closer look at the data showed that observing a male model enhanced perceived competence more from pretest ( M = 3.32, SE = 0.16) to posttest ( M = 4.98, SE = 0.14), than observing a female model enhanced perceived competence improvement from pretest ( M = 3.46, SE = 0.16) to posttest ( M = 4.67, SE = 0.14)."
