q3 i? Across the 42 experiments measuring both outcomes, the correlation between attitude effect and achievement effect was nonsignificant, countering the assumed tradeoff. → Savelsbergh 2016

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r?

Study-level correlation between overall attitude effect sizes and achievement effect sizes across 42 experiments. The authors report the correlation "was found nonsigni ficant, r ¼ 0.26, N ¼ 42, p ¼ 0.091", remaining nonsignificant (r = 0.17, p = 0.30) after outlier removal.

"The correlation between the two was found nonsigni ficant, r ¼ 0.26, N ¼ 42, p ¼ 0.091. After removal of the outliers"
