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 i0 Within-subject correlations between partner confidence and change under disagreement did not deviate significantly from zero (d = 0.09), and mean partner confidence did not differ between changed and persisted cases (d = 0.12). → Schnaubert 2021

Schnaubert 2021¶

q3 · i0 · causal · r2
Within-subject experiment testing hypothesis 1c with point-biserial rank correlations between partner confidence and change under disagreement; the mean coefficient was slightly positive (M = 0.04, SD = 0.43) and "no significant deviation from zero (t(50) = 0.70, p = 0.490, d = 0.09)" was found. Mean partner confidence also did not differ between changed and persisted cases (t(50) = 0.83, p = 0.408, d = 0.12).
"The result showed no significant deviation from zero (t(50) = 0.70, p = 0.490, d = 0.09)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- After learners adjust their confidence, the degree of socio-cognitive conflict is equivalent to zero as a predictor of information requests — related
- Learners converge toward an unknown other's assumptions after seeing the other's answers and confidence, reducing the distance between their own and the partner's answers — related
- Learners change the direction of their assumptions more often to agree with a partner than to disagree — related
- Learners with lower own confidence are more inclined to change their assumption in the face of disagreement — related
- Perceived partner competence does not predict how often learners change the direction of their assumptions — related
- The more confident a learning partner's answers, the more competent the partner is perceived — related
