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? Descriptive and correlational analyses of the 448-student sample showed all eight dimensions internally consistent, near-normal, with high loadings and significant positive inter-dimension correlations. → Thomas K. F. Chiu 2025

q2 · i? · associational · r2
Internal consistency and variability analysis of the eight SAICS dimensions in the 448-student validation sample (Table 4). The article also reports the correlation matrix "supported the scale's convergent validity, with all correlated dimensions (r > 0.34; p < .05)."
"All Cronbach's alpha (CR) values are equal to or greater than 0.89; All dimensions were near to normal distributions (skewness and kurtosis between −1 and 1) and had sufficient variability (range and standard deviation); All dimensions had high factor loadings, ranging from 0.76 to 0.96 (> 0.80)."
