q3 i2 After the intervention, trained students made more references to the features of the more reliable source in their justifications than controls, while groups did not differ for the less reliable source. → Ana Pérez 2018

q3 · i2 · causal · r2

Mixed-effects logistic regression on source references in near-transfer justifications in the 137-student intervention. The group × condition interaction, χ² (1) = 5.76, p = .02, showed "trained students made more references to the features of the more reliable source" (OR = 0.31, CI 0.13-0.75).

"whereas trained students made more references to the features of the more reliable source, χ² (1) = 11.73, p < .01 (OR = 0.31, CI 0.13-0.75)."
