q2 i? An exploratory moderation analysis found no evidence that mood moderated Cyberball effects on any working memory outcome measure. → Fuhrmann D. 2019

Evidence¶

Fuhrmann D. 2019¶

Fuhrmann D., Casey C.S., Speekenbrink M., Blakemore S.-J. (2019). Social exclusion affects working memory performance in young adolescent girls. Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dcn.2019.100718

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Exploratory analysis in the same 98-participant experiment tested whether mood moderated Cyberball effects on working memory; the authors report "no evidence for a moderation in any of our outcome measures". Details are in supplementary material not printed in the main text; no effect size was printed.

"We found no evidence for a moderation in any of our outcome measures (Supplementary Table 4). This finding supports the notion that the effects of Cyberball on working memory were independent from the emotional effects of exclusion."
