Hughes, J. N., West, S. G., Kim, H., & Bauer, S. S. (2018). Effect of Early Grade Retention on School Completion: A Prospective Study. Journal of Educational Psychology, 110(7), 974-991. https://doi.org/10.1037/edu0000243
q3 · i? · associational · r3
Null moderator analysis in the same propensity-score-weighted multinomial logistic regression, testing parent highest education (reported on a 5-point scale) for both outcome contrasts. The article reports "no moderator effects were found"; no effect size is printed.
"Finally, no moderator effects were found for household highest education level on either the drop out versus graduation from high school contrast or the GED versus high school completion contrast."
