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 i? Impulse control is generally better during or after children's contact with nature, but impulse-control effects are not always statistically significant across studies. → Kuo M 2019

q2 · i? · review · r2

The review's synthesis of studies tying nature contact to self-discipline notes that "impulse control effects are not always statistically significant" in some studies, while concluding that in general impulse control is better during or after children's contact with nature. Attributed studies include Amoly et al. (2014) and Schutte et al. (2015).

"Note that impulse control effects are not always statistically significant (e.g., Amoly et al., 2014; Schutte et al., 2015). Nonetheless, in general, impulse control is better during or after children's contact with nature."
