q3 · i? · causal · r2

GORICA evaluation of mastery-avoidance goals in the randomized experiment yielded contradictory order-restricted patterns across Analysis A (intended condition) and Analysis B (perceived emotion). No effect sizes were printed.

"students exposed to peers’ enjoyment reported higher mastery-avoidance goals than those exposed to peers’ neutral state and those exposed to peers’ frustration in Analysis A (ae > 0 = af) and there were no differences between groups in Analysis B (ae = 0 = af)"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶
