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 i0 Lower perceived stress and fewer depressive symptoms were associated with greater educational expectations, which in turn were associated with better grades, less grade repetition, and fewer expulsions; the standardized indirect effects were small (e.g., −.019 and −.017 for stress on grades). → Rose 2024

q2 · i0 · associational · r2
Measured-variable path analysis of the NSAL-A cross-sectional survey (n = 1,170 Black adolescents, ages 13–17) with bootstrapped indirect effects, controlling for contextual and demographic covariates. The article reports "statistically significant indirect mediated relations" through educational expectations for grades, grade repetition, and expulsions, with small standardized estimates.
"the bootstrap confidence intervals revealed statistically significant indirect mediated relations involving school bonding and educational expectations (with estimated standardized effect sizes of −.019 and −.017, respectively)"
