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? Interactions between residential mobility and baseline neighborhood poverty and between residential mobility and fifth-grade neighborhood poverty were significantly related to children's BIS-BRIEF ratings. → Roy 2014 q3 i3 Moving out of a low poverty neighborhood was associated with a 27.38-point (1.08-SD) increase in teacher-reported dysregulation (t(326) = 3.10, p < .01), whereas moving out of a high poverty neighborhood was related to a 24.47-point (0.98-SD) decrease (t(326) = −2.02, p = .04). → Roy 2014 q3 i3 Moving into a low poverty neighborhood by fifth grade was associated with a 27.91-point (1.12-SD) decrease in teacher-reported dysregulation (t(326) = −2.34, p = .02), whereas moving into a high poverty neighborhood was associated with a 30.82-point (1.24-SD) increase (t(326) = 3.53, p < .01). → Roy 2014

Roy, A. L., McCoy, D. C., & Raver, C. C. (2014). Instability Versus Quality: Residential Mobility, Neighborhood Poverty, and Children's Self-Regulation. Developmental Psychology. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0036984

q3 · i3 · large, simple slopes of 0.98–1.24 SD · associational · r2

Interaction analyses from the same longitudinal regression models with inverse probability weighting, graphed in Figures 2 and 3 with simple slopes tested. The article reports both the baseline-poverty and fifth-grade-poverty interactions with residential mobility were significantly related to BIS-BRIEF ratings. Destination-neighborhood simple slopes are reported in a separate sentence: moving into low poverty was associated with a 27.91-point decrease (t(326) = −2.34, p = .02) and moving into high poverty with a 30.82-point increase (t(326) = 3.53, p < .01). The article prints these simple slopes in standard-deviation units (1.08, 0.98, 1.12 and 1.24 SD); they are associations from weighted observational models, not experimental effects.

"moving of a low poverty neighborhood was associated with a 27.38-point (or a 1.08–standard deviation) increase in teacher-reported dysregulation (A to B slope; t(326) = 3.10, p < .01), whereas moving out of a high poverty neighborhood was related to a 24.47-point (or 0.98–standard deviation) decrease in teacher-reported dysregulation (C to D slope; t(326) = −2.02, p = .04)."
