q2 i? Pearson correlations between group membership (experimental=1, comparison=2) and the dependent variables were weakly negative: r = -.25 for knowledge test score and r = -.21 for perceived interest. → Slussareff 2016

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Correlational analysis preceding the ANOVAs in the same quasi-experiment. The article reports "Weak negative correlations" with r = -.25 for knowledge test score and r = -.21 for subjectively apperceived interest; per-question coefficients ranged from negligible to strong negative relationships.

"Weak negative correlations (experimental group labelled as 1 and comparison group labelled as 2) were found with Pearson coefficients (r) -.25 (for knowledge test score) and -.21 (for the subjectively apperceived interest), p < .00."
