Subclaims¶

q2 i? Learning-oriented title language appeared in 68.0% of G1 and 70.0% of G2 titles versus 29.4% of G3; productivity language appeared in 76.5% of G3 titles versus 12.0% (G1) and 40.0% (G2); G1 showed the highest learning imagery (64.0%) and G3 the highest productivity imagery (29.4%). → Shayla Sharmin 2025

q2 · i? · associational · r1

Binary coding of title text and thumbnail features across 51 of 52 videos (one thumbnail unavailable), with group-level percentages. Titles and thumbnails showed parallel differences: G3 led in urgency (41.2%) and productivity language (76.5%), G1 in learning imagery (64.0%) and study context (48.0%).

"𝐺1(68.0%) and𝐺2(70.0%) most frequently used learning-oriented languages, whereas𝐺3showed substantially lower use (29.4%). In contrast, urgency language was highest in 𝐺3(41.2%), compared to 𝐺1(20.0%) and 𝐺2(10.0%)."
