Subclaims¶

q2 i? Vigorous physical activity significantly accounted for 6.1% of variance of originality (F (1, 136) = 8.888, p = 0.003) and 6.4% of variance of flexibility (F (1, 136) = 9.254, p = 0.003). → Romance 2023 q2 i0 The relationship between the elaboration variable and vigorous physical activity was not significant (Table 4: ELA R2 = 0.006, p = 0.376). → Romance 2023 (2)

Evidence¶

Romance 2023¶

Romance, R., Nielsen-Rodríguez, A., Sousa Mendes, R., Dobado-Castañeda, J. C., & Dias, G. (2023). The influence of physical activity on the creativity of 10 and 11-year-old school children. Thinking Skills and Creativity. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tsc.2023.101295

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Multiple regression analysis for vigorous physical activity predicting components of divergent thinking (Table 4). The same table reports FLE variance of 6.4% (F (1, 136) = 9.254, p = 0.003) and FLU variance of 4.4% (p = 0.013); R² figures are not standardised effect sizes.

"Regarding the variable O, the vigorous physical activity predictor (B = 0.680, B SE = 0.228, β = 0.248, t = 2.981, CI [0.229, 1.131]) significantly accounted for 6.1% (95% CI for R2; adjusted R2 = 0.054) of variance of 0, F (1, 136) = 8.888, p = 0.003."

q2 · i0 · associational · r2

Null regression result from Table 4 of the same analysis: elaboration showed R2 = 0.006 (adjusted R2 = -0.002, t = 0.887, p = 0.376) with vigorous physical activity. A non-significant test with a printed near-zero R² is coded as a negligible association.

"However, the relationship between the ELA variable and vigorous physical activity was not significant."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Creativity — outcome: instruction changes it
• Physical Well-Being — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes

Related Claims¶

• Light and moderate physical activity and sedentary behavior show no significant relationship with any creativity component or overall creativity — reports the opposite
• Vigorous physical activity is positively and significantly correlated with fluency, originality, flexibility and overall creativity in 10–11-year-old children — a broader claim this one bears on
• In a multiple regression model, vigorous physical activity significantly accounts for 4.5% of variance in overall creativity — related
• Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity correlates positively with fluency, originality, flexibility and overall creativity, though less significantly than vigorous activity alone — related
