Table 1 shows that only five of the thirty theses analysed representing 16.67% achieved 100% of their pre-study expected conclusions, while 11 representing 36.66% achieved only 50% of their a prioriexpectations. Eight or 27% were able to achieve 75%; 6 or 20% achieved only 25% of their pre-study conclusions while none had a zero agreement. Since the researchers of the theses under study carried out their analyses with the individual surrogates of the multivariate dependent variables, the level achieved was based on the number of the surrogates that agreed with their pre-study a priori .
