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? Viewing a longer videotape of a target tended to produce more accurate perspective taking than viewing a shorter tape, but the difference did not reach statistical significance. → Gehlbach 2004
Evidence¶
Gehlbach 2004¶
Gehlbach, Hunter. (2004). A New Perspective on Perspective Taking: A Multidimensional Approach to Conceptualizing an Aptitude. Educational Psychology Review 16 (3). https://doi.org/10.1023/B:EDPR.0000034021.12899.11
q2 · i? · review · r2
The review reports Bernstein and Davis's (1982) video-tape procedure study of exposure duration, where a longer tape (about 7:30 minutes) yielded a non-significant trend (p < .20) toward greater accuracy than a shorter tape (about 4:00 minutes). No effect size is printed; equivalence was not tested.
"When perspective takers viewed a longer tape (about 7:30 minutes) they tended to be more accurate than when viewing a shorter tape (about 4:00 minutes), although their results did not achieve statistical significance (p < .20)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Motivation generally increases SPT accuracy, but some goals can motivate inaccuracy — related
- Induced perspective-taking strategies affect SPT outcomes, but no consensus exists on the most effective strategy — related
- Familiarity with the target improves SPT accuracy — a broader claim this one bears on
