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.
q2 i? Pooled reliability was highest in Latin America (α/ω = 0.98, a single estimate) and lowest in Australia (α/ω = 0.83), with several regions represented by very few estimates. → Könül Karimova 2026
q2 i? The ARS showed strong reliability (α/ω = 0.90, 95% CI [0.87, 0.92]) and the ABS acceptable-to-strong reliability (α/ω = 0.82, 95% CI [0.79, 0.85]). → Könül Karimova 2026 (2)

q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2
Exploratory moderator analysis of internal consistency by geographic region (Table 6). The review states Latin America was represented by a single estimate and Europe and the Middle East by three each, so these should not be interpreted as stable regional summaries.
"Reliability was highest in Latin America, α/ω = 0.98, 95% CI [0.98, 0.98], followed by the Middle East, α/ω = 0.91, 95% CI [0.56, 0.98], Asia, α/ω = 0.90, 95% CI [0.88, 0.92]"

q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2
Instrument-specific pooled reliability estimates from the systematic review (Table 7). The review cautions that instrument-specific estimates based on one or two effects should not be treated as stable evidence of comparative instrument quality.
"The ARS showed strong reliability, α/𝜔 = 0.90, 95% CI [0.87, 0.92], and the ABS showed acceptable-to-strong reliability, α/𝜔 = 0.82, 95% CI [0.79, 0.85]."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Academic resilience scales show high pooled internal consistency (α/ω = 0.89) with substantial heterogeneity — a broader claim this one bears on
- Spanish Math and Reading scores show high marginal reliability and moderate-to-strong test-retest stability, lowest for fall–spring and kindergarten — related
- Alpha of knowledge tests is higher for language and mathematics than for science and social sciences/humanities — related
