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 i2 Across 13 studies, ER difficulties show a significant positive pooled correlation with overall student burnout (r = 0.25). → Ioana Alexandra Iuga · Oana Alexandra David 2024

q3 · i2 · quant-synthesis · r3
Random-effects meta-analysis of 20 studies of children, adolescents, and youth; pooled correlation for ER difficulties with overall burnout: "r = 0.25 (95% CI = 0.182; 0.311), p < 0.001". Post hoc power for this pooled analysis was 0.78, just below the 0.80 threshold.
"significant positive associations between ER difficulties and overall burnout (k = 13), r = 0.25 (95% CI = 0.182; 0.311), p < 0.001"
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Affect Regulation — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
Related Claims¶
- Adaptive ER strategies are negatively associated with overall student burnout, but not significantly with any single dimension — related
- Grade level significantly moderates the ER difficulties–burnout association, with larger effects at pre-university than university level — related
- ER difficulties are positively associated with each burnout dimension: cynicism, emotional exhaustion, and lack of efficacy — related
- Female percentage and mean age significantly moderate the ER difficulties–burnout association; study quality does not — related
- Publication-bias adjustments render the ER difficulties–lack of efficacy and adaptive ER–emotional exhaustion effects non-significant — related
- Effect sizes across included studies show high heterogeneity (all I² above 75%) — related
- Student burnout is positively associated with dropout intentions, with a pooled meta-analytic correlation of r+ = .46 — related
