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? In Study 1, motivation ratings did not differ between the medicated ADHD, nonmedicated ADHD, and control groups, F(2, 104) = .02, p = .977, ηp2 < .01. → Boot Nathalie 2017
q3 i? In Study 2, motivation ratings did not differ between groups, nor was there a group × competition interaction (Fs < 2.45, ps > .121). → Boot Nathalie 2017 (2)

q3 · i? · causal · r2
Study 1 online study (N = 107) measured intrinsic motivation after each AUT trial with four items (α = .88). The article reports "motivation ratings did not differ between the three groups"; no effect size was printed for this null finding.
"Moreover, motivation ratings did not differ between the three groups, F(2, 104) = .02, p = .977, ηp2 < .01."

q3 · i? · causal · r2
Study 2 manipulation-check ANOVA on motivation ratings during the AUT. The article reports no group differences and no group × competition interaction; no effect size was printed for these nulls.
"Motivation ratings did not differ between groups, nor was there an interaction between group and competition (Fs < 2.45, ps > .121)."
