The Field
What a sample would let the model say, at any size, on one finished record.
- 90Factor structurewhether nine indicators are one thing or several
- 217Normsevery reading against a measured mean, known to two points
- 300A held-out halfsix in ten discover, the rest confirm, nothing crosses
- 351Reliability, measureda 5-item scale’s alpha known to a twentieth
- 418The typical published effectr = 0.27, visible across all 820 pairs
- 681The pre-specified combinationseleven moderations and paths, corrected as a family
- 1,473Every three-way combination10,660 of them, corrected for all of them
- 3,023The horizonthe smallest published effect on the map, r = 0.10
The map’s agreement scale cannot tell this record from a random one, so the 23 are the seed a population would test, never findings about the person.
47 relationships drawn · 0 carry a sourced correlation
A chance needs a sourced correlation, and none is sourced yet. That count moves with reading, not with respondents.
Each square is a drawn relationship; the filled ones carry a published size somewhere in the literature. Only a size measured on these two constructs can grade anybody, so the projection rests on 2 of them; the other 9 are broader or neighbouring findings, which say whether the design could see an effect that big and not what to expect of a person. Putting same-pair sizes on the edges is reading, not recruiting, and it is what makes the model falsifiable for one record before a second person answers.
A true r of .30 on left–right self-placement, as a readership agrees more. 12 of the 47 drawn relationships end at self-placement; in a readership that opposes the same arrangement, a larger sample makes them more precise and no more visible.
- A sourced size, at any n. Those come from papers.
- A reliability better than the instrument’s own. More people measure it more precisely and cannot raise it.
- Direction. Every relationship here is correlational at every n.
