Subclaims¶

q2 i? Higher sexual abuse and physical neglect scores were associated with lower WRAT-3 standard scores, though the association did not reach the more conservative significance level of p < 0.01. → Majer M 2010

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Multiple linear regression analysis in a pilot study of 47 healthy adults found an association between the sexual abuse and physical neglect scores of the CTQ and the WRAT-3 standard score, with adjusted B = -6.18 for sexual abuse and adjusted B = -9.28 for physical neglect, though the association "did not achieve a more conservative sta".

"multiple linear regression analysis revealed an association between the sexual abuse and the physical neglect scores of the CTQ and the WRAT-3 standard score (sexual abuse: adjusted B = -6.18, SE = 2.86, p = 0.03; physical neglect: adjusted B = -9.28, SE = 3.97, p = 0.02). However, the association did not achieve a more conservative sta"

• Adverse Experiences — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
