Subclaims¶

q3 i3 Chronological age correlated positively with RES scores (r = .616) and IQ correlated with the ToM Task Battery (r = .393). → Houssa and Nader-Grosbois 2016 q3 i? Externalizing behavior correlated negatively with four personality factors, and social adjustment correlated positively with ToM measures. → Houssa and Nader-Grosbois 2016 (2)

Evidence¶

Houssa and Nader-Grosbois 2016¶

Marine Houssa, Nathalie Nader-Grosbois. (2016). Experimental Study of Middle-term Training in Social Cognition in Preschoolers. Journal of Education and Training Studies. https://doi.org/10.11114/jets.v4i1.972

q3 · i3 · causal · r2

Pearson intercorrelations at pre-test (Table 2): the age–RES correlation was r = .616 and the IQ–ToM Task Battery correlation r = .393, supporting links between individual characteristics and social cognition.

"CA correlates negatively and significantly with „consciousness‟, „openness‟, and „agreeableness‟ and positively and significantly with RES scores. The IQ is positively linked to „openness‟, „agreeableness‟, and „extraversion‟, to the ToM Task Battery, t o the EASE, to family income and to fathers‟ education level."

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Pre-test intercorrelations (Table 2) show EB negatively related to four personality factors and social adjustment positively linked to ToM Task Battery and ToMI; the article prints no effect sizes for these specific contrasts beyond the correlation table.

"EB is negatively and significantly correlated with „consciousness‟, „openness‟, „agreeableness‟ and „emotional stability‟. Social adjustment is positively linked to ToM Task Battery and ToMI, and family characteristics."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Personality Traits — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes

Related Claims¶

• Middle-term ToM and SIP training improves preschoolers' social problem solving more than free play — related
• Group condition predicts post-test SIP after controlling for pre-test, but not post-test ToM — related
• Latent musicality correlates moderately with speech-related communication (r = 0.50) and modestly with cognition (r = 0.33), but not with pragmatic or social-communication factors — reports the opposite
• Trained preschoolers were perceived as improving on the EASE non-ToM social adjustment scale — related
