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? Shame expressions predicted greater social competence and work-related skills. → Berhenke 2011
q3 i? More shame expressions predicted greater math and reading skills. → Berhenke 2011 (2)

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Hierarchical regression of observed motivation indicators on teacher-rated learning-related behaviors in 131 kindergarteners; the article reports "Shame expressions predicted greater social competence and work-related skills."
"Shame expressions predicted greater social competence and work-related skills."

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Regression on teacher-rated academic competence; the article notes emotion expressions as a group did not add significant predictive power, yet "more shame expressions predicted greater math and reading skills."
"While emotion expressions as a group did not increase the predictive power of the model at the p < .05 level, more shame expressions predicted greater math and reading skills."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Achievement Emotions — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes

- Observed motivation indicators predict student-teacher conflict but not closeness: less persistence, greater task competence, and more interest/arousal predict greater conflict — related
- Observed task persistence during challenging tasks predicts teacher-rated academic competence and learning-related behaviors in Head Start graduates — related
- Observed interest/arousal during challenging tasks predicts poorer teacher-rated social competence and more hyperactivity: the top third was rated least socially competent, and the top and middle thirds more hyperactive than the bottom third — related

- Observed help-seeking during the challenge task is unrelated to teacher-rated learning-related behaviors and academic skills — related
