Subclaims¶

q3 i? No significant association between the distribution of words added and paragraph readiness level (X2 (1, N = 62) = 0.38, p = .82). → Maya Usher 2025 q3 i? Deletion distribution differed significantly by group (X2 (1, N = 62) = 16.37, p = .00); experimental students deleted nearly twice as many words from yellow-rated paragraphs and refrained from deleting from green ones. → Maya Usher 2025 (2)

q3 · i? · causal · r?

Secondary analysis of edits in the six color-rated paragraphs of the 62-student experiment, checking whether editing was mere social compliance. Words added showed "no significant association" with readiness level; equivalence was not tested.

"A chi-square test of independence showed that there was no significant association between the distribution of words added by students from both research groups and the paragraph’s readiness level with X2 (1, N = 62) = 0.38, p =.82."

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Same secondary analysis for deletions: most deleted words came from red-rated paragraphs in both groups, but experimental students deleted nearly twice as many words from yellow-rated paragraphs; the relation was "significant" with X2 (1, N = 62) = 16.37. No effect size was printed for this finding.

"The relation between these variables was significant with X2 (1, N = 62) = 16.37, p =.00."
