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? The interaction of reflective behavior and language proficiency significantly predicts oral proficiency improvement. → Chen D 2026
q2 i? At low language proficiency, the effect of reflective behavior on oral improvement is weak and not significant. → Chen D 2026 (2)
Evidence¶
Chen D 2026¶
Chen D, Zeng L, Ou W and Zhong S (2026) ASR technology in college English speaking instruction: the role of feedback internalization and metacognitive strategies. Front. Psychol. 17:1847238. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2026.1847238
q2 · i? · associational · r2
Multi-group SEM moderation analysis with proficiency groups of beginner (n = 183), intermediate (n = 95), and advanced (n = 47) tested H11a. The interaction was significant (p < 0.001); no standardized effect size is printed.
"the interaction term between reflective behavior and language profi -ciency is significant, with a coefficient of 0.1959 (SE = 0.0481, CR = 4.0706, p < 0.001)."
Chen D 2026 (2)¶
Chen D, Zeng L, Ou W and Zhong S (2026) ASR technology in college English speaking instruction: the role of feedback internalization and metacognitive strategies. Front. Psychol. 17:1847238. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2026.1847238
q2 · i? · associational · r2
Conditional effects analysis within the same moderation model. At low proficiency the conditional effect was non-significant (p = 0.1842); at average and high proficiency the article reports significant positive effects (p < 0.001).
"when language proficiency is low, the effect of reflective behavior on oral improve-ment is weak and not significant (conditional effect esti -mate = −0.8721, SE = 0.0820, CR = 1.3309, p = 0.1842, 95% CI [−0.0392, 0.2032])."
