Studies published before 1998 report much larger private-schooling civic effects than studies from 1998 onward, which the authors treat as evidence of publication bias limited to earlier studies.¶

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? Effects with effect year before 1998 pool to 0.254 SD versus 0.036 SD for effect year 1998 or later. → Shakeel 2024

RVE timing subgroup from Table 2: effect year ≥ 1998 pooled ES 0.036 (SE 0.017, 418 effects, 34 databases); effect year < 1998 pooled ES 0.254*** (SE 0.057, 113 effects, 7 databases). The authors state publication bias is limited to studies before 1998.

Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Private schooling accessed through a choice program shows no significant civic association, while self-selected private attendance does. — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- Journal-published studies show larger concept-mapping effects than dissertations and conference papers (g = 1.039 vs. 0.254) — a broader claim this one bears on
- Published studies of simulation games report substantially larger effects than unpublished studies, indicating publication bias — a broader claim this one bears on
- Publication bias is present to a varying degree, with published studies reporting larger belief and student-behavior effects than unpublished studies — a broader claim this one bears on
- Private schooling is associated with a small positive average advantage in civic outcomes over public schooling (0.055 SD). — related
- Private schooling is associated with higher political tolerance (0.120 SD) and higher civic knowledge and skills (0.121 SD). — related
