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.
q2 i? In a hierarchical multiple regression, perceptions of warmth and competence strongly and positively predict participants' willingness to use a tutor in the future, replicating a known social-cognition pattern with AI systems. → LearnLM Team 2024

q2 · i? · causal · r2
Appendix A.4 secondary analysis: a hierarchical multiple regression with warmth and competence perceptions as predictors of willingness to use a tutor in the future, with random effects for participant, scenario, and tutor (Figure 14). The text reports the predictors "strongly and positively predict participants' willingness to use a tutor in the future"; no standardized coefficient is printed.
"The results demonstrate the expected pattern, showing that perceptions of warmth and competence strongly and positively predict participants' willingness to use a tutor in the future"
