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 i3 Victims had a longer TMT-B execution time than bullies (r = 0.61), indicating lower cognitive flexibility in the victim group. → Medeiros W 2016

Evidence

Medeiros W 2016

Medeiros W, Torro-Alves N, Malloy-Diniz LF and Minervino CM (2016) Executive Functions in Children Who Experience Bullying Situations. Front. Psychol. 7:1197. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2016.01197

q2 · i3 · associational · r1

Kruskal–Wallis analysis of TMT-B times across the four PAVS-classified groups showed significant differences (χ2 = 13.839, p = 0.003); "the victim group had a longer execution time in TMT-B compared to bullies" with r = −0.61. Victims did not differ significantly from bully-victims or controls at the corrected alpha.

"Mann–Whitney tests showed that the victim group had a longer execution time in TMT-B compared to bullies (U= 32.5, z=− 3.322; p= 0.001, r=− 0.61)"
