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? The group-by-time interaction and between-group effect on prediction bias were non-significant, but bias showed a significant time effect. → Daniell DiFrancesca 2025

q3 · i? · associational · r1
A 2x8 mixed ANOVA on bias scores from prediction judgments across eight Kahoots (LC n = 24, HC n = 28) found group effects "non-significant" and a within-subject time effect (η2 = 0.07); post-hoc tests showed the eighth Kahoot bias was lower than the first, third, and seventh.
"Both the interaction effect, F(7, 350) = 0.45, p =.87, and between group effect, F(1, 50) = 3.84, p =.06, were non-significant. There was a significant effect of time, F(7, 350) = 3.79, p <.001, η2 = 0.07."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Absolute monitoring accuracy showed a mixed, inconsistent group-by-time interaction rather than a stable competitiveness difference — related
- Students across competitive-preference levels reported enjoying the Kahoot activities consistently throughout the semester, with no detectable wear-out effect — related
- Kahoot performance over a semester did not differ between high- and low-competitive undergraduates, though scores varied across time points — related
- In Experiment 1, the feedback group showed significantly lower absolute (unsigned) metacognitive bias than the no-feedback group at both pre-task and post-task — related
- Most motivational and self-regulation measures did not differ by competitive preference, though overall interest in educational psychology declined over the semester — related
- The relationship between Kahoot performance and quiz scores differed by competitiveness only on the first quiz, and was not replicated later in the semester — related
- Monitoring accuracy score does not moderate the effort–monitoring correlation — related
- Serial dilution accuracy showed a small significant increase over time, but post-hoc tests detected no significant improvement in either group — related
