Subclaims¶

q3 i0 Indirect effects of transcription on text generation via planning (β = .15, Sobel z = 2.55, p = .01) and self-efficacy (β = .21, Sobel z = 2.05, p = .04) were significant in Grades 7-9 but not in Grades 4-6 (β = .03 for both mediators). → Limpo 2013

q3 · i0 · associational · r2

Modified Sobel tests in the multiple-group SEM of 376 Portuguese students showed the mediated paths "significant in Grades 7-9" with the printed β and Sobel values, and non-significant in Grades 4-6 (β = .03 for both mediators), a negligible printed magnitude.

"The indirect effects mediated by planning and self-efficacy were significant in Grades 7-9 (βT→P→TG = .15, Sobel z = 2.55, p = .01; βT→SE→TG = .21, Sobel z = 2.05, p = .04), but they were not in Grades 4-6"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Planning and self-efficacy contributed more to text generation in Grades 7-9, transcription more in Grades 4-6 — a broader claim this one bears on
• Transcription directly constrains text generation quality in Grades 4-6 but not in Grades 7-9 — related
• Transcription, planning, revision, and self-efficacy explain 76% of writing-quality variance in Grades 4-6 and 82% in Grades 7-9 — related
• Transcription predicts planning, revision, and self-efficacy in both grade groups — related
