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? Psychological safety had significant positive main effects on verification, clarification, and agreement, and increased negotiation per contribution. → Pieter J. Beers 2007
q2 i? Psychological safety did not differ between coercion conditions and was treated as a covariate rather than an outcome of NTool. → Pieter J. Beers 2007

q2 · i? · causal · r2
Repeated measures ANCOVA on coded messages from vocational education teams, with group-mean psychological safety (Cochran's a = .69) as covariate. Alongside main effects on verification, F(1, 11) = 5.83, P < .05, and clarification, F(1, 11) = 6.67, P < .05, the article reports "a significant positive main effect of psychological safety on agreement."
"Furthermore, there was a significant positive main effect of psychological safety on agreement, F(1, 11) = 7.35, P < .05."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- High-coercion (Stringent) NTool increases explicit negotiation activities in secondary vocational collaborative problem-solving, though the verification effect was stronger in morning sessions
- The low- and high-coercion versions of NTool did not differ on perceived sociability or social presence — related
- Contrary to expectation, common ground after collaboration was highest in the low-coercion (Idiosyncratic) NTool groups, not the Stringent groups — related
