q4 · i1 · quant-synthesis · r?

Three-level meta-analysis synthesizing 68 studies reporting 278 effect sizes (N = 57,798) on school discipline and self-control from preschoolers to high school students. The pooled association was "small to medium (r =.190, p <.001" with 95% CI [.151,.229].

"Based on 68 studies reporting 278 effect sizes (N = 57,798), the results revealed that the overall effect size for the association between school discipline and self-control was small to medium (r =.190, p <.001, 95% confidence interval [.151,.229])."

• The discipline–self-control association is stronger when self-control is measured by self-report than by observation/tasks or other-informant reports — related
