q3 i? In mixed models, perceived partner competence had no significant impact on the percentage of direction changes (β < 0.01, p = 0.246; pseudo R² = 0.02). → Schnaubert 2021

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Within-subject experiment testing hypothesis 2b with mixed models accounting for per-participant data interdependence, regressing adjustment of answers on perceived competence as a fixed effect. The model showed "no impact on the percentage of changes of the general direction of the answer ( β < 0.01, p = 0.246)" with a low pseudo R² of 0.02.

"We can see that perception of partner competence has no impact on the percentage of changes of the general direction of the answer ( β < 0.01, p = 0.246)."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• 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
• Partner confidence does not significantly affect whether learners change their assumption in the face of disagreement — related
• The more confident a learning partner's answers, the more competent the partner is perceived — related
• Learners with lower own confidence are more inclined to change their assumption in the face of disagreement — related
