q3 · i? · causal · r?

The disclosure reports that the targeted sample's "math/science identity was found to be low on average, but also showed variability". This descriptive characterization justified testing both the main effect and the identity moderation. No means or effect sizes are printed.

"Given that our targeted sample's math/science identity was found to be low on average, but also showed variability, our pre-registered hypothesized effect of the intervention on math /science course interest and grades could manifest as a main effect of treatment condition or specifically for students whose math/science identity was particularly low."
