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? Both the intercept (b1 = −1.82, p = .01) and linear slope (b2 = −4.72, p = .02) of negative expressivity significantly and inversely predicted G1 school engagement. → Hernández 2018

Growth model predicting spring first-grade observed engagement, controlling for fall-K engagement and background covariates (N = 301). The article reports the intercept and slope "significantly and inversely predicted school engagement" with the printed coefficients.
"In this model, the intercept (b1 = −1.82, p = .01) and linear slope (b2 = −4.72, p = .02) of negative expressivity significantly and inversely predicted school engagement."
