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 systematic review concludes there is not a single self-report that can be recommended as the industry standard. → Craig 2020 q2 i? Ning's bifactor structure showed the best fit, but Akaike and Bayesian criteria make it questionable whether it beats the two-factor structure. → Craig 2020 (2)

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3

Conclusion of the systematic review of 22 factor-structure studies: "there is not a single self-report that can be recommended as the industry standard (i.e. reliable and replicable)"; self-reports are best suited to evaluate two distinctive metacognitive factors.

"Based on the systematic review, there is not a single self-report that can be recommended as the industry standard (i.e. reliable and replicable)."

q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2

Review's evaluation of Ning's (2017) bifactor model on the JrMAI version A: it "showed a bi-factor structure of general metacognition along with KOC and ROC to be the best fit," but information criteria make the advantage over the two-factor model questionable.

"Results showed a bi-factor structure of general metacognition along with KOC and ROC to be the best fit (Fig. 4). However, upon looking at the reported Akaike and Bayesian analysis, it is questionable whether the bifactor structure is actually a better fit than the two-factor structure."
