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? Post-hoc Scheffe tests verified only two narrative-task profile pairs as significant: LAGs vs AAGs (p = .028) and LAGs vs HAGs (p = .034). → Jianhua Zhang 2025

q2 · i? · associational · r2
Post-hoc Scheffe tests (p adjusted for a family of 4) on narrative-task scores. The article notes the pattern of mean differences described in the text "were not fully verified by the post-hoc Scheffe's Test"; only the two pairs involving LAGs reached significance.
"there were significant differences in the following two profile pairs in L2 student writers' writing achievement in the narrative task: the LAGs profile versus the AAGs profile ( p =.028) and the LAGs profile-the HAGs Profile (p =.034), but not the rest profile pairs."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Achievement Goal Orientation — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
- Writing Skills — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
Related Claims¶
- The predictive effects of writing self-efficacy and motivation regulation strategies on writing achievement vary across achievement goal profiles and writing genre — related
- L2 student writers' writing achievement goals form four latent profiles: Low All Goals, Mastery High, Average All Goals, and High All Goals — related
- The four achievement goal profiles differ significantly in all four dimensions of writing self-efficacy — related
