Subclaims¶

q2 i2 Self-efficacy (r = .304), intrinsic goal orientation (r = .263), and test anxiety (r = -.193) correlated significantly with proficiency. → Fukuda 2018 q2 i? The five motivational factors together explained only 9.1% of proficiency variance and no motivational factor was a significant predictor. → Fukuda 2018 (2)

Multiple regression of five MSLQ motivational factors on TOEIC scores for 97 Japanese university EFL freshmen. The study reports "considerable correlations between SE ( r = .304, p < .01), IGO ( r = .263, p < .01), TANX ( r = -.193, p < .05) and proficiency."

"A multiple re gression revealed that there were considerable correlations between SE ( r = .304, p < .01), IGO ( r = .263, p < .01), TANX ( r = -.193, p < .05) and proficiency, as shown in Table 7."

q2 · i? · associational · r1

The same multiple regression on motivational factors found no significant predictors; the study reports the five factors "explained only 9.1% of the variance in prof iciency (Adj.R 2 = .091), and no significant predictors appeared." Equivalence was not tested.

"Nevertheless, these five factors together explained only 9.1% of the variance in prof iciency (Adj.R 2 = .091), and no significant predictors appeared."
