Subclaims¶

q2 i0 The sole significant primary-outcome interaction was for meeting deadlines, with treatment self-ratings falling (d = -0.18) and control self-ratings rising (d = 0.17). → Burrus et al. 2013

Evidence¶

Burrus et al. 2013¶

q2 · i0 · causal · r2

Study 1 results, mixed-model ANOVA on the meeting deadlines facet; the interaction was significant, F(1, 109) = 4.09, p = .05, with the printed within-group effects "d = -0.18" (treatment) and d = 0.17 (control).

"whereas the treatment group's self-assessed ability to meet deadlines went down from pretest to posttest (Mpre = 18.35; Mpost = 17.81) t(56) = -1.52, p = .13, d = -0.18, the control group's self-assessed ability went up"
