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.
q3 i0 The hypothesis that negative-deactivating emotions are negatively associated with political learning was not supported in cross-sectional or experimental models. → Elisabeth Graf 2024
Evidence¶
Elisabeth Graf 2024¶
Elisabeth Graf, Johanna L. Donath, Elouise Botes, Martin Voracek, Thomas Goetz. (2024). The Associations Between Discrete Emotions and Political Learning: A Cross-Disciplinary Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Educational Psychology Review. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10648-024-09893-y
q3 · i0 · quant-synthesis · r2
Multilevel random-effects meta-analysis of cross-sectional studies on negative-deactivating emotions and political learning, based on only three effect sizes (k = 2); the experimental model (k = 3, N = 7) was likewise non-significant (r = 0.01).
"Our second hypothesis, which assumed negative associations between negative-deactivating emotions and learning, was not supported (r = 0.03, 95% CI [− 0.16, 0.22])"
