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.
q4 i? Age moderated comparison effects: older students showed weaker social comparison effects but stronger dimensional comparison effects compared to younger students. → Fabian Wolff · Jens Möller 2022

q4 · i? · quant-synthesis · r?
Moderator analysis in the IPD meta-analysis with age coded continuously at self-concept assessment. The printed result is that "Older students showed weaker social comparison effects but stronger dimensional comparison effects compared to younger students"; no coefficient is quoted in the available text.
"Older students showed weaker social comparison effects but stronger dimensional comparison effects compared to younger students."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Age and Developmental Stage — moderator: an instructional effect differs with it

- Social and temporal comparison effects are stronger in studies using grades rather than test scores as achievement indicators — related
- Social comparison effects are stronger in academic track schools than in nonacademic track schools — related
- Generalized math self-efficacy items function like self-concept items because they omit an explicit performance criterion — related
