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 i0 Treatment teachers did not perceive greater similarity with their focal students than control teachers (Cohen's d = -0.07, 95% CI -0.51 to 0.36); the printed effect is negligible and the interval spans zero. → Gehlbach 2021

q3 · i0 · causal · r3
Preregistered regression from the results robustness table on the 6-item perceived similarity scale. The estimate was Cohen's d = -0.07, "-0.07 (-0.51, 0.36)", a null result for hypothesis B; equivalence was not tested.
"Similarity 80/80/9 -0.07 (-0.51, 0.36)"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- No significant effect on focal students' perceived relationship negativity — related
- The social perspective taking induction increased treatment teachers' effort to understand their focal students (Cohen's d = 0.51) — related
- The induction improved treatment teachers' relationships with focal students: more positivity (Cohen's d = 0.41) and less negativity (Cohen's d = -0.52) — related
- Students of treatment teachers perceived more positive relationships with their teachers (Cohen's d = 0.82) — related
- Focal students of treatment teachers attained higher course competency scores (Cohen's d = 0.45) — related
- Adding a cross-factor composite from a teacher study yields r = .079, still with an interval including zero, and latent profiles reveal over- and underestimation of competence — related
