q3 · i? · causal · r3

In the cluster-randomized trial (78 classrooms, N = 1,744), perceived cost was assessed with nine items tapping emotional cost, effort required, and opportunity cost at pretest, posttest, and follow-up. The summary statement reports "higher perceived cost compared with the control group" in both intervention groups and that "other measures were unaffected."

"At the same time, however, students in both intervention groups reported higher perceived cost compared with the control group, and other measures were unaffected."
