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? Peer rejection correlated negatively with language competence, but the multilevel models showed no main effect of peer rejection on language competence once control variables were included. → Femke van der Wilt 2025

Discussion of the multilevel results in the N = 328 longitudinal sample: a "significant negative correlation" was found, but no main effect of peer rejection after controls; Table 2 prints the peer rejection T1 parameter at p = .219. No effect size is printed for the null main effect.
"Outcomes indicated that there was a significant negative correlation between peer rejection and language competence, but there was no main effect of peer rejection on language competence."
