q4 · i2 · quant-synthesis · r2

Robust variance random-effects meta-analysis pooling cynicism–achievement correlations. The pooled corrected correlation was "rc+ = -.24, 95% CI = -.32, -.16"; heterogeneity was small (τ2 = .02, I2 = 91.80).

"For cynicism (N = 10,888), analyses revealed a small-to-medium negative weighted mean effect size (rc+ = -.24, 95% CI = -.32, -.16)."
