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.
q2 i? A repeated measures ANOVA on MESSY scores found no significant main effects of time or condition and no significant interaction effect. → Hall 2014
Evidence¶
Hall 2014¶
Hall, L., Tazzyman, S., Hume, C., Endrass, B., Lim, M.-Y., Hofstede, G., Paiva, A., Andre, E., Kappas, A., & Aylett, R. (2014). Learning to Overcome Cultural Conflict through Engaging with Intelligent Agents in Synthetic Cultures. Int J Artif Intell Educ. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40593-014-0031-y
q2 · i? · causal · r2
Pre-post far-transfer analysis of MESSY Factor 2 social skills (complete T1/T2 data n=118); MIXER scores stayed roughly constant (T1 M=60.06, T2 M=60.92) and control slightly decreased. The quote reports no significant effects; no effect size is printed.
"No significant main effects of time or condition emerged, and there was no significant interaction effect between time and condition."
