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? Proficiency assessment type significantly moderated the association in the three-level model (F(1, 130) = 6.52, p = .012): self-assessments r = .35 versus external measures r = .28. → Maria Adelina Ianos 2026

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3
Three-level moderator analysis of proficiency measurement approach across 132 effects. The self-assessment subgroup showed "r =.35, 95% CI [.30, .40]" versus r = .28 for external measures, consistent with H3a.
"Studies using self-assessments (k = 78, r =.35, 95% CI [.30, .40]) yielded larger associations than those using external measures ( k = 54, r =.28, 95% CI [.18, .37]), with a three-level differential of β = 0.08."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Language attitudes show a significant small-to-medium positive correlation with language proficiency (r = .34) — a broader claim this one bears on
- Attitude–proficiency correlations are stronger for foreign languages than for local languages — related
