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 i? Level of study significantly moderated the pooled effect, with postgraduate education showing a significant positive effect relative to secondary education (z = .24, p = .04). → Daniel J. Madigan 2026

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3
Moderator analysis within the multilevel meta-analysis of dropout intentions effects. The article reports level of study was significant, F(3,33) = 4.45, p < .01, with postgraduate education showing a significant positive effect versus secondary education; no standardized effect size is printed.
"Level of study ( F(3,33) = 4.45, p < .01) and burnout dimension (F(3,33) = 17.74, p < .0001) showed to have a significant effect on the overall pooled effect. When Secondary education was set as the reference level, Postgraduate education had a significant positive effect ( z = .24, p = .04)."
