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.
q2 i? ANOVA revealed no significant differences between ethnic groups on CBCL internalizing or externalizing scores, and only a slight trend on self-concept scores (F(3, 141) = 2.106, p ≤ .10), with Caucasian children obtaining the lowest mean self-concept scores. → Houck 2011

Houck 2011¶
Houck, G., Kendall, J., Miller, A., Morrell, P., & Wiebe, G. (2011). Self-concept in children and adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Journal of Pediatric Nursing, 26(3), 239-247. doi:10.1016/j.pedn.2010.02.004
q2 · i? · associational · r?
Separate ANOVAs with ethnicity as grouping variable in the descriptive correlational study. On self-concept only a trend emerged (F(3, 141) = 2.106, p ≤ .10); Caucasian children's mean (53.68) was lowest, Hispanic 55.44, African American 59.85, other/mixed 60.71.
"There were no significant differences between ethnic groups on CBCL internalizing scores, F (3, 141) = 1.055, p = .37, or CBCL externalizing scores, F (3, 141) = .378, p = .77."
