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.
q3 i? Children expressed more positive emotions in trials with high rewards as compared to trials with low rewards. → Stengelin R 2020
Evidence¶
Stengelin R 2020¶
Stengelin R, Hepach R, Haun DBM (2020) Cultural variation in young children's social motivation for peer collaboration and its relation to the ontogeny of Theory of Mind. PLoS ONE 15(11): e0242071. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0242071
q3 · i? · causal · r2
Linear mixed model on affect ratings across reward conditions from 240 children. "children expressed more positive emotions in trials with high rewards (M = 1.44,SD = 0.97) as compared to trials with low rewards (M = 1.34,SD = 0.95; χ2 (1) = 15.03,p< .001)". This validated the coding scheme's sensitivity to reward value.
"children expressed more positive emotions in trials with high rewards (M = 1.44,SD = 0.97) as compared to trials with low rewards (M = 1.34,SD = 0.95; χ2 (1) = 15.03,p< .001)"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Go-trial accuracy was lower under reward conditions, an effect mediated by task version and administration order — related
- Children across three diverse populations expressed more positive emotions during peer collaboration than during individual activity, with the effect strongest among German and weakest among Hai||om children — related
- Across populations, children's positive emotional expressions selectively during collaboration predicted their Theory of Mind skills — related
