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 i3 The Ideas about Citizen Science subscale showed a significant time-by-intervention interaction, F(1,76) = 13.33, p < 0.001, partial eta2 = 0.150. → Duane E. Wallace & Alec M. Bodzin 2017

q2 · i3 · causal · r2
Two-way mixed ANOVA on the Ideas about Citizen Science subscale (13 items) in the quasi-experiment with 39 students per group. The printed effect size for the interaction is partial eta2 = 0.150 (η² = 0.150), a large effect; the main effect of time had partial eta2 = 0.181.
"This subscale showed a significant interaction between the time it was completed and the type of intervention [F(1,76) = 13.33, p < 0.001, partial eta2 = 0.150]."
