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? Participants consistently rated themselves harshly relative to judges (M's of 3.02 versus 4.66, t(60) = 5.90, p < .001). → Jones Christopher R. 2012

q3 · i? · associational · r1
Comparison of self-assessed and judge-rated speech quality on the same 0-10 scale in the Results section of the 61-participant study. Although the two ratings correlated significantly (r = .47, p < .001), "participants consistently rated themselves harshly relative to judges (M's of 3.02 versus 4.66, t(60) = 5.90, p < .001)".
"we also found that participants consistently rated themselves harshly relative to judges (M's of 3.02 versus 4.66, t(60) = 5.90, p < .001)."
