q2 · i? · causal · r1

Quasi-experimental comparison within one Consumer Behavior class (18 incubator participants, 16 controls, same syllabus and professor), scored by two graduate assistants on a 7-point SOLO grid. The article reports a "16.95% better total average score" for participants, with significance only at the 11% two-tailed / 6% one-tailed level.

"Those that did not participate in the marketing incubator scored a total average mean of 3.48 on both prompts at the end of the semester. Those that did participate in the marketing incubator at the end of the semester scored a total average mean of 4.07 on both prompts. This represents a 16.95% better total average score for those that participated in the marketing incubator than those that did not with two-tailed t test significance within 11% and one-tailed t test significance within 6%."
