q2 · i? · associational · r1
Sentiment analysis using the VADER Sentiment Intensity Analyzer on 214 guideline documents; a normality test indicated non-normal distribution, so a Mann–Whitney U test compared private (mean = 0.945355) and public (mean = 0.963464) institutions. The article reports "no statistically significant differences in sentiment scores"; equivalence was not tested.
"the Mann–Whitney U test was conducted, resulting in a statistic of 5664.5000 (p = 0.9664). These results indicate no statistically significant differences in sentiment scores between private and public institutions."
