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 i? The review reports, citing Schippers et al. (2020), that a university goal-setting intervention produced a 22% increase in academic performance compared to control groups. → Shan Li 2026
