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 i? In multiple-group analyses, the path from fathers' growth mindset intercept to children's intercept differed by child gender (χ2(1) = 4.154, p < 0.042): significant for girls (β = 0.253, p = 0.014) but not boys (β = −0.038, p = 0.709). → Jiao Chen and Chunhui Liu 2023

q3 · i? · associational · r3
Multiple-group analysis by child gender with Wald tests of eight paths; only the father-intercept-to-child-intercept path differed by gender. The effect held for daughters but not sons, contrary to same-gender modeling expectations the article cites.
"paternal growth mindset in the first test predicted girls’ growth mindset in the fifth test (β = 0.253, p = 0.014) but not boys’ growth mindset (β = −0.038, p = 0.709)"
