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? Parallel analysis and scree plots supported a one-component solution in both studies, with large uniform loadings (.74–.86) interpretable as a general psychological well-being factor. → Bernstein Brian O. 2021

Bernstein Brian O. 2021¶
Bernstein Brian O., Lubinski David, Benbow Camilla P. (2021). Academic Acceleration in Gifted Youth and Fruitless Concerns Regarding Psychological Well-Being: A 35-Year Longitudinal Study. Journal of Educational Psychology. https://doi.org/10.1037/edu0000500

Principal component analysis of the five well-being measures in Study 1, replicated in Study 2 (Figure 4). Loadings were large and uniform (Study 1: .74–.85; Study 2: .79–.86), which the authors say suggests a robust unidimensional structure and functional equivalence of the indicators, illustrating the Jangle Fallacy.
"A one-component solution was unambiguously supported by this procedure; therefore, we performed principle component analysis and retained the first component."

- A one-factor unidimensional model is the most reasonable fit for MAP computerized adaptive Reading and Mathematics tests across grades, terms, and ten states, though Michigan Mathematics misses the RMSEA criterion — related
