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 i? Person praise as a percent of total praise showed no significant correlation with children's later motivational frameworks, r(51) = −.05, p = .73; equivalence was not tested. → Gunderson Elizabeth A. 2013

q2 · i? · associational · r2
Null result from the same longitudinal observational study of 53 dyads; the hypothesized negative relation between person praise and later incremental frameworks was not detected. No effect size is printed for this finding.
"we found no significant correlation between person praise as a percent of total praise and children's later motivational frameworks, r(51) = −.05, p = .73. Thus, our second prediction was not supported."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Parents' own incremental theories did not predict their process praise use or their children's motivational frameworks, and counter-intuitively correlated with more person praise — related
- Parents' naturalistic process praise at child ages 14-38 months predicts children's incremental motivational frameworks at age 7-8 — related
- Parents' praise styles were stable across child ages 14-38 months, with person praise declining and other praise increasing — related
