You have assessed the first two potential sources of bias in Hoferichter & Jentsch (2024) and Kisida et al. (2020), and are now in a position to assign an interim rating. The interim rating is the lowest of the two padlocks giving for Design and Attrition.
Open the accordian below to confirm your interim rating with that of an experienced rater.
We are now at the point where we can assign an interim rating for these two experiments. The lower of the two scores for Design and Attrition informs the interim rating.
As the lowest of the two scores for Design and Attrition was 0 padlocks for Attrition, the interim rating is 0 padlocks. As padlocks can only be adjusted downwards when additional threats to internal validity are considered, we now know that this study will receive a final score of 0. Nonetheless, we will continue to assess this study for the sake of completeness.
As this study received 5 padlocks both for Design and Attrition, the interim rating is 5 padlocks.
