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 amount of factual material acquired was no different for the two kinds of communicators. → Hovland 1952

Evidence

Hovland 1952

Hovland, Carl I., and Mandell, Wallace. (1952). An Experimental Comparison of Conclusion-Drawing by the Communicator and by the Audience. Journal of Abnormal and Social Psychology, 47, 581-88. doi:10.1037/h0059833

q3 · i? · causal · r1

Null result from the fact-quiz items in the 242-undergraduate experiment: the abstract reports "no different" factual acquisition between the explicit-conclusion and audience-conclusion versions; no test statistic or effect size is printed, so equivalence was not established.

"The amount of factual material acquired was no different for the two kinds of communicators."
