Subclaims¶

q3 i? The size of SRL–EF correlations depends on the measurement methods used, with indirect measures correlating higher than direct/indirect measures. → Laura Dörrenbächer-Ulrich 2024 q3 i? In Follmer (2021), indirect EF measures correlated strongly with SRL metacognition while direct EF measures showed no correlation with the MSLQ–MS-R. → Laura Dörrenbächer-Ulrich 2024 (2)

The review's cross-study synthesis of the 19 included studies concludes that "Measurement methods used to capture SRL and EF seem to influence the size of the correlations"; the statement is hedged and no pooled effect size is printed.

Table 1 entry for Follmer (2021), college students (n = 189), contrasting self-report EF questionnaires (EFI, ESQ) with direct EF tasks: "Strong correlations between indirect EF measures and SRL (metacognition)" but no correlation for the direct tasks; specific r values are printed in adjacent table columns.

"Strong correlations between indirect EF measures and SRL (metacognition) • No correlation between the three direct EF measures and the MSLQ–MS-R"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• SRL and EF show primarily low to moderate correlations across age groups, with no detectable pattern depending on age — related
• SRL components show moderate correlations within one assessment level but no correlations across different assessment methods within one component — a broader claim this one bears on
• The only significant cross-method correlation within one SRL component is motivation assessed by questionnaire and closed-ended microanalytic questions — related
• The SKT-SRL shows low, mostly non-significant correlations with SRL microanalysis (online measure) — related
