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? Intrinsic motivation predicted intended effort most strongly (standardized coefficient = .58), followed by identified regulation (.33) and introjected regulation (.13). → Takahashi 2020

q2 · i? · associational · r2

SEM results for the SDT model (n = 511) show standardized path coefficients to intended effort of .58 for intrinsic motivation, .33 for identified regulation, and .13 for introjected regulation; the article reports all path coefficients were significant.

"for the SDT model, intrinsic motivation predicted intended effort most strongly (standardized coefficient = .58), followed by identified regulation (.33) and, to a much lesser extent, introjected regulation (.13)."
