Subclaims¶
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.
q3 i? Studies cluster on self-management (43 studies, 52.17%), relationship skills (33, 40.22%) and self-awareness (33, 35.87%), with far fewer on responsible decision-making (22, 26.09%) and social awareness (7, 7.69%). → Anabela Caetano Santos 2023

Descriptive synthesis across the 91 studies. Table 1 prints the domain frequencies: "Self-management 43 52.17", "Self-awareness 33 35.87", "Relationship skills 33 40.22", "Responsible decision making 22 26.09", "Social awareness 7 7.69".
"The number of studies in each of the five CASEL domains is uneven, with more studies focussing on self-management, self- awareness, and relationship skills, in association with SE."
