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 i? Acquaintance type (friend vs. relative) showed no significant main effect on estimated success, contrary to kin selection predictions. → Harvey J. GINSBURG 2016
Evidence¶
Harvey J. GINSBURG 2016¶
Harvey J. GINSBURG, Rebecca CAMERON, Roque V. MENDEZ & Michael WESTHOFF. (2016). Helping others use social media: age stereotypes when estimating learner's success. Psychology, Society, & Education, 8(1), 1-12. https://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ1123456
q3 · i? · causal · r2
Within the same repeated measures 2x3 ANOVA of 212 undergraduates, the friend-versus-relative contrast was not significant: "No significant main effect was shown for acquaintance type, F(1,211) = 1.71, p= .193". Equivalence was not tested; the printed partial η2 = .008 is very small.
"No significant main effect was shown for acquaintance type, F(1,211) = 1.71, p= .193; forage, partial η2 = .059 and for acquaintances, partial η2 = .008."
