q3 · i? · causal · r2

Survey item on liking reading administered pre, post, and follow-up; Chi-square showed no group difference at any point (p > .05), and no difference by native/non-native language. The authors call the positive baseline attitude a surprising finding given adult education research.

"Table 2 shows that a majority of the participants in each group said they did (96% in ER group vs. 89% in No-ER groups), and only some indicated that they did not. Chi-square shows that the two groups did not significantly differ in attitude toward reading at the beginning of the treatment (p > .05)."
