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 i? The negative effects of school-average achievement on subsequent GPA and age-26 outcomes are partly mediated by expectations and aspirations. → Herbert W. Marsh 2023

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Longitudinal SEM using Mplus indirect-effect estimation in the ELS:2002 sample; the study reports expectations and aspirations "partly mediated the adverse impacts of school-average achievement" on GPA and age-26 outcomes. Mediation magnitudes are not printed in the available text.
"Furthermore, these expectations and aspirations partly mediated the adverse impacts of school-average achievement on subsequent grade-point-average and age-26 outcomes."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- School-average achievement negatively predicts parent, teacher, and student expectations and parent aspirations, with larger adverse effects for parents and especially teachers than students — related
- Year 10 teacher and parent educational expectations have consistently positive effects on student expectations, academic self-concept, GPA, and age-26 outcomes — related
- Effects of parent aspirations on student outcomes are predominantly small and mixed in direction — related
- The parental aspiration-expectation gap negatively predicts student expectations, academic self-concept, GPA, and age-26 outcomes — related
- Teacher expectations correlate most strongly with achievement among Year-10 expectation and aspiration measures — related
- Compositional effects of school-average achievement and SES on long-term outcomes are partly mediated by ASC and particularly by GPA — related
- School-average SES positively predicts ASC and the three age-26 outcomes but not GPA — related
