q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2

Moderator analysis across the three skill categories (social f=22, basic language f=27, higher thinking f=14) in the meta-analysis. The article reports a non-significant Qbetween value and large, similar effect sizes for all three categories.

"The effect size was found to be not varying significantly depending on this moderator variable (Q B=3.597, p>.05). The social (ES= .900), basic language (ES= 1.481) and higher thinki ng (ES= 1.002) skills were found to have large and similar effect sizes according to the Cohen’s (1988) classification."
