The review reports, citing Meloan (1991), a study of National Student Exchange participants framed by Chickering's Psychosocial Development Theory using the SDTI-2 instrument. No effect size is printed; equivalence was not tested.

"Meloan found that NSE participants had statistically higher development pretest scores than those who did not participate in an exchange, but that pretest-to-posttest development was not statistically significant overall."
