q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2

Quasi-d statistics were created by transforming ARIMA t values from six field studies of the behavior modification tradition with reasonable quasi-experimental designs. The printed effect size is d = 1.69, though the authors state this value "cannot be interpreted because there is no metric for converting this value into a real d," and that field studies differ systematically from most studies in the literature.

"Finally, the 17 quasi ds derived from time series design were all positive with a mean d of 1.69 and a variance of 0.45."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Planned contingency-of-reinforcement designs can raise academic achievement above normal classroom levels across a wide range of children — the general claim this finding bears on, with the studies behind it
• Variance terms in multi-armed RCT estimators need slight adjustment under the finite-population framework, which can reduce precision — related
• Group-design studies show a significant main effect of self-management interventions on classroom behaviors (g = 0.63), but rest on only four studies — related
