q2 i? A standard multiple regression showed sadness and prior knowledge predicted coherence-based processing of the other-side text, F(2, 37) = 12.902, p < .001, R2 = .424. → Iordanou 2020

q2 · i? · associational · r1

Standard multiple regression with coherence-based processing during other-side text reading as the dependent variable and think-aloud sadness and prior knowledge as predictors. Both were significant predictors; more coherence-based processing was exhibited by those expressing more sadness and having more prior knowledge.

"R for regression was significantly different from zero, F(2, 37) = 12.902, p <. 0 0 1 ,w i t hR2 at .424 with a 95% confidence interval ranging from 0.205 to 0.643."

Learner Variables¶

• Achievement Emotions — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes

Related Claims¶

• Cognitive processing differs by text type: participants engaged in more epistemic processing, meta-comprehension, and coherence-based processing when reading the other-side text than the own-side text — related
• Emotions reported during think-aloud reading were mostly negative (anger, sadness) for both texts, in contrast to positive questionnaire-reported emotions toward the other ethnic group — related
• Epistemic beliefs, prior knowledge, and the think-aloud emotion of anger jointly predict low-epistemic processing during reading of the other-side text — related
• Greater anger, hopelessness, and negative emotions overall during reading are associated with poorer text comprehension, while positive emotions show no relation — related
• The frequency of associations produced during think-aloud reading predicts sentence reading times during silent reading — related
• Participants' prior knowledge about the historical event was entirely consistent with their own ethnic group's narrative, with none providing an alternative interpretation — related
