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.

q2 i1 Perfectionism determined by others (r = -.13) and perfectionism for others (r = -.13) each correlated negatively and significantly with subjective well-being. → Karatas 2012 q2 i0 Self-perfectionism showed no significant correlation with subjective well-being (r = .09, unstarred in Table 1). → Karatas 2012 (2)

Evidence¶

Karatas 2012¶

Karatas, Z. & Tagay, O. (2012). Self Esteem, Locus of Control and Multidimensional Perfectionism as the Predictors of Subjective Well Being. International Education Studies, 5(6). http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ies.v5n6p131

q2 · i1 · associational · r2

Pearson correlation analysis (Table 1, n=318). The two final columns, perfectionism determined by others and perfectionism for others, each show "-.13*" with subjective well-being, i.e. r = -.13, significant at p<.05.

"Subjective well being 174.35 27.08 - .53** -.26** .09 -.13* -.13*"

Karatas 2012 (2)¶

q2 · i0 · associational · r2

Authors' summary of Table 1 (n=318): all scales except "the sub-scale for self-perfectionism" correlated significantly with subjective well-being; the self-perfectionism coefficient of r = .09 was not significant. Equivalence was not tested.

"the relationships of the other scales, outside of the sub-scale for self-perfectionism, with the points taken from the subjectiv e well-being scale is significant at the level of p<.05, p<.01"
