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 i1 Nonmaltreated adolescents displayed a higher percentage of correct responses than maltreated adolescents on both go and no go trials, with the difference more pronounced on no go trials. → Bruce 2022 q3 i1 The trial type x group interaction on accuracy was significant and remained significant after controlling for general intellectual ability. → Bruce 2022 (2)

q3 · i1 · associational · r2

Repeated measures ANOVA on go/no go accuracy in 230 adolescents (128 maltreated, 102 nonmaltreated) recruited via child welfare system and middle schools. Simple main effects of group: "the nonmaltreated adolescents had a higher percentage of correct responses than the maltreated adolescents" on both trial types, with partial η2 = .02 (go) and .03 (no go).

"Post hoc paired comparisons examining the simple main effect of group indicated that the nonmaltreated adolescents had a higher percentage of correct responses than the maltreated adolescents on the go trials and no go trials, F(1, 228) = 4.13, p = .043, partial η2 = .02, and F(1, 228) = 7.55, p = .006, partial η2 = .03, respectively."

q3 · i1 · associational · r2

Repeated measures ANCOVA controlling for FSIQ confirmed the group main effect and trial type x group interaction on accuracy. The article reports the interaction as significant (partial η2 = .03 in Table 3) and that results "remained significant even after controlling for general intellectual ability."

"the main effect of group and interaction between trial type and group remained significant even after controlling for general intellectual ability."
