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? After an eight-week intervention, the journal-writing experimental group scored significantly higher than the control group on the overall self-regulation strategies measure (ANCOVA controlling for pre-test). → Nawar M. Al-Rawahi & Sulaiman M. Al-Balushi 2015

q2 · i? · causal · r2
Pre-post control group quasi-experiment with 62 tenth-grade students (32 experimental, 30 control) in a public female school in Oman, analyzed with ANCOVA using the pre-test as covariate. The experimental group's post mean was "M=3.96; SD=0.37" versus the control's 3.62; the overall-score ANCOVA gave F=8.65, p=0.005.
"Participants in the journal -writing group (experimental group) (M=3.96; SD=0.37) significantly outperformed participants in the control group (M=3.62; SD=0.28) with respect to their self -regulation strategies."
