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.
q3 i? Partial correlations between SE change and VDS change were statistically significant in both tasks (contrast r =2.403, N = 38, p = .012; orientation r =2.342, N = 42, p = .027). → Zacharopoulos G 2014
Evidence¶
Zacharopoulos G 2014¶
Zacharopoulos G, Binetti N, Walsh V, Kanai R (2014) The Effect of Self-Efficacy on Visual Discrimination Sensitivity. PLoS ONE 9(10): e109392. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0109392
q3 · i? · causal · r2
Correlational analysis on the same experiment's data: partial correlations regressing out objective VDS ability and baseline SE. The authors interpret that "the greater the positive change in SE the greater the VDS improvement"; the printed r values carry an ambiguous minus sign in the source text.
"This analysis yielded a statistically significant correlation between the VDS change and the SE change both in the contrast (r =2.403, N = 38, p = .012, two-tailed) and in the orientation (r =2.342, N = 42, p = .027, two-tailed) tasks."
