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? In the three studies examining direct dropout behavior, burnout (including cynicism, inadequacy, and total burnout profiles) predicted higher dropout rates or non-continuation. → Daniel J. Madigan 2026
Evidence¶
Daniel J. Madigan 2026¶
Daniel J. Madigan, Hanna L. Glandorf. (2026). Student Burnout and Educational Dropout: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Dropout Behavior and Intentions. Educational Psychology Review. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10648-026-10191-y
q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3
Narrative synthesis of three longitudinal studies measuring actual dropout behavior (two via self-report, one via enrollment status the next academic year). The review reports that "high levels of cynicism and inadequacy predicted higher dropout rates"; no pooled effect size was computed for behavior.
"In these studies, high levels of cynicism and inadequacy predicted higher dropout rates as did profiles reflecting high levels of overall (or total) burnout."
