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.
q2 i? Sensitivity analyses showed selection strategies predicted fewer memory problems as a main effect and under low perceived control, while optimization and compensation results matched the composite three-way finding. → Hahn Elizabeth A. Ph.D. 2014

Sensitivity analyses reported in the Discussion tested each SOC subscale individually against the main research questions. The article reports optimization and compensation "were the same as our study's main findings with the SOC composite," while selection predicted fewer problems broadly.
"We found that the results for both optimization and compensation were the same as our study's main findings with the SOC composite. Selection strategies were predictive of fewer memory problems as a main effect and under circumstances of low perceived control."
