Subclaims¶

q3 i? A significant teacher science-anxiety-by-student FARM interaction (B = 0.21, p = .05) indicated that in classrooms led by teachers with high (+1 SD) science anxiety, low-SES students' science anxiety was higher than their high-SES peers'. → McLean 2023

Evidence¶

McLean 2023¶

McLean, L., Janssen, J., Espinoza, P., Lindstrom Johnson, S., & Jimenez, M. (2023). Associations Between Teacher and Student Mathematics, Science, and Literacy Anxiety in Fourth Grade. Journal of Educational Psychology. Advance online publication. https://doi.org/10.1037/edu0000790

q3 · i? · associational · r2

Interactions model from the same regression analysis of fourth-grade students nested in 33 classrooms. The printed interaction coefficient is B = 0.21, p = .05, exactly at the threshold; no standardized effect size is printed, so impact is null.

"The interactions model revealed a significant teacher science anxiety-by-student FARM interaction effect (B = 0.21, p = .05) on students' Time 2 science anxiety."
