Subclaims¶

q3 i? Including perceived performance level made the direct 80% vs. 20% effect nonsignificant (β = −0.04, p = 0.267), and the indirect effect was significant (β = −0.05, 95% CI [−0.08, −0.02]). → Lisa Hasenbein 2024

q3 · i? · causal · r3

A regression-based mediation analysis (Hayes procedure, 10,000 bootstrapped samples) in the IVR experiment added perceived performance level as mediator, reducing the direct 80% vs. 20% effect to nonsignificance (β = −0.04, p = 0.267) with a significant indirect effect of β = −0.05; no standardized effect size for the indirect path beyond β is printed.

"The indirect effect on situational self-concept calculated with 10,000 bootstrapped samples for the pairwise comparison of the 80% vs. 20% hand-raising condition and the perceived performance level as a mediator was small but statistically significant (β = −0.05, SE = 0.02, p < 0.001, 95% CI [−0.08, -0.02])"

Learner Variables¶

• Academic Self-Concept — outcome: instruction changes it

Related Claims¶

• Students who perceived the class performance level as higher reported lower situational self-concept in the IVR classroom — related
• Higher proportions of hand-raising virtual classmates raise sixth-graders' perceived class performance level and register more hand-raisers in an IVR lesson — related
• Experimental conditions did not affect felt presence or perceived realism, which were high across all IVR configuration conditions — related
• A 15-minute exposure to higher-performing virtual classmates did not significantly affect sixth-graders' dispositional domain-specific self-concept — related
• Equally able students have lower academic self-concepts in high-average-ability schools (the BFLPE), with a cross-national effect size of 0.49 — related
• Holistic retrieval via free-recall raises self-efficacy, fully mediated by performance during retrieval practice — related
