Sharon Wolf and Guilherme Lichand. (2023). Nudging parents and teachers to improve learning and reduce child labor in Cote d'Ivoire. npj Science of Learning 8:37. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41539-023-00180-z

q2 · i? · causal · r3

Exploratory mediator analysis using an adapted autonomous motivation scale and two parent-reported engagement scales (2,179 observations). The article reports "no statistically signi ficant treatment impacts"; null mechanism results with subgroup patterns noted in the discussion.

"In an exploratory analysis, we examined three potential mechan-isms through which the intervention may have shaped parenting as pathways to treatment effects on children: motivation, social-emotional engagement, and school engagement. There were no statistically signi ficant treatment impacts (see Table 5)."
