Subclaims¶

q3 i? Participants in the intervention condition reported higher monitoring judgments than the control condition on all three post-intervention problems, controlling for gender and pretest monitoring judgments. → Scheibe 2022

q3 · i? · causal · r2

ANCOVAs in a randomized experiment with 1,177 Qualtrics-panel adults compared intervention vs. control monitoring judgments controlling for gender and pretest judgments. The intervention group was higher on all three posttest problems; e.g., "F(1, 1173) = 6.30, p = 0.012, partial η2 = 0.01" on problem 1.

"On posttest problem 1, the intervention group reported higher monitoring judgments ( M = 83.89, SE = 0.84) than the control group ( M = 80.88, SE = 0.85), F(1, 1173) = 6.30, p = 0.012, partial η2 = 0.01."
