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? Students exposed to peers' enjoyment reported higher enjoyment and lower frustration than those exposed to peers' neutral state, followed by those exposed to peers' frustration. → Hu 2024
q3 i? Students exposed to peers' enjoyment and neutral state reported higher relaxation and lower anger than those exposed to peers' frustration. → Hu 2024 (2)
Evidence¶
Hu 2024¶
Hu, Y., Elliot, A. J., Wouters, P., van der Schaaf, M., Kester, L., & Pekrun, R. (2024). Effects of peers' emotions on students' emotions, achievement goals, mental effort, and performance. Journal of Educational Psychology, 116(7), 1283–1299. https://doi.org/10.1037/edu0000895
q3 · i? · causal · r2
Main effect results of a preregistered randomized online experiment (N = 210) comparing enjoyment, neutral, and frustration peer-model videos, analyzed with RI-CLPMs and GORICA in both Analysis A and B; order-restricted hypothesis "ae > 0 > af" was supported for enjoyment and "ae < 0 < af" for frustration. No effect sizes were printed.
"students exposed to peers’ enjoyment reported higher enjoyment (ae > 0 > af) and lower frustration (ae < 0 < af) than those exposed to peers’ neutral state, followed by those exposed to peers’ frustration"
Hu 2024 (2)¶
Hu, Y., Elliot, A. J., Wouters, P., van der Schaaf, M., Kester, L., & Pekrun, R. (2024). Effects of peers' emotions on students' emotions, achievement goals, mental effort, and performance. Journal of Educational Psychology, 116(7), 1283–1299. https://doi.org/10.1037/edu0000895
q3 · i? · causal · r2
GORICA evaluation in the same randomized experiment found the order-restricted pattern "ae = 0 > af" for relaxation and "ae = 0 < af" for anger; the enjoyment and neutral groups did not differ. No effect sizes were printed.
"students exposed to peers’ enjoyment and those exposed to peers’ neutral state reported higher relaxation (ae = 0 > af) and lower anger (ae = 0 < af) than those exposed to peers’ frustration"
