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 i? The more mothers reported helping their children with homework in Grade 2, the less task persistence teachers reported in Grade 3. → Viljaranta 2017

q3 · i? · associational · r3
Same cross-lagged path model of 365 triads: "maternal help predicted children’s task persistence negatively from grade 2 to grade 3". Help was mother-reported (four items) and task persistence teacher-rated; no standardized path coefficient is printed.
"maternal autonomy granting predicted children’s task persistence positively, and maternal help predicted children’s task persistence negatively from grade 2 to grade 3"
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Motivation — outcome: instruction changes it
Related Claims¶
- Maternal autonomy granting in Grade 2 positively predicts children's task persistence in Grade 3, but not from Grade 3 to Grade 4 — related
- Weak indirect effects link Grade 2 autonomy granting and help to Grade 4 performance via Grade 3 task persistence; monitoring and reverse indirect effects are not significant — related
- Children's Grade 3 task persistence negatively predicts mothers' Grade 4 help and monitoring, but not earlier — related
- Maternal monitoring does not predict children's task persistence at any measurement point — related
- Higher levels of maternal help, press for intellectual development, and monitoring are associated with poorer children's arithmetic skills — related
