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? In a multiple regression on 436 university students, all measured psychosocial variables together explained approximately 41% of cognitive flexibility variance. → Bülent GÜNDÜZ 2013

q2 · i? · associational · r2
Multiple regression analysis in a descriptive relational study of 436 voluntary Mersin University students (247 female, 189 male, ages 18-34) using the Cognitive Flexibility Scale, Relationships Scale, Irrational Beliefs Scale and Short Symptom Inventory. The article reports "approximately 41% per cent" of variance explained; no effect size statistic is printed.
"According to the results of the research, it was found out that all of the independent variables explained approximately 41% per cent of the cognitive flexibility"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Higher irrational beliefs, obsessive attachment and anxiety accompany lower cognitive flexibility, while negligent attachment shows an unexpected positive relationship — related
- Hostility and afraid attachment do not meaningfully predict cognitive flexibility, while the other variables do — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- Irrational beliefs, obsessive attachment and anxiety are the strongest stepwise predictors of cognitive flexibility in one correlational study of university students — related
