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.
q4 i? Moderator analyses found effect sizes of similar magnitude across school discipline components, gender and age of students, region, report informant, measure reliability, and research design. → Li 2021

q4 · i? · quant-synthesis · r?
Moderator analyses within the three-level meta-analysis of 68 studies. The article reports no effect-size differences for these moderators; no moderator effect size is printed, so impact is null.
"Moderator analyses showed that effect sizes were similar in magnitude across school discipline components, gender and age of students, region, report informant of school discipline measures, reliability of school discipline and self-control measures, and research design."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Exploratory moderation analyses found no significant moderators (age, gender, SES, baseline self-control, baseline life events) of the life events–self-control relation — related
- Educational domain, cultural orientation, age, gender, and socioeconomic status are candidate moderators of model effects — related
- School discipline is positively associated with self-control in students from preschool to high school, with a small-to-medium pooled effect — related
- The discipline–self-control association is stronger when self-control is measured by self-report than by observation/tasks or other-informant reports — reports the opposite
