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 i? A 1-SD increase in valuing mathematics increased predicted STEM-intention probability by 18%, and valuing German carried a significant negative total effect on STEM intentions. → Jansen 2020

Predicted-probability illustration (Figure 4) of total effects on STEM study intentions from the longitudinal SEM. Because non-significant indirect estimates ran in the same direction as direct effects, the article reports significant total effects of mathematics value (positive) and German value (negative) on STEM intentions.
"Both the positive effect of valuing mathematics (an increase of 1 SD from the mean resulted in a predicted increase in the probability of 18%)"
