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 i2 Across 15 first-order meta-analyses synthesized via second-order three-level meta-analysis, the mean SES–learning association is r = .22. → Tan 2024

q3 · i2 · quant-synthesis · r?
A second-order three-level meta-analysis of 21 effect sizes from 15 first-order meta-analyses, using the metafor package in R, reports a mean SES effect size of "r = .22". The author deems this large against educational benchmarks but notes confounding with other demographics.
"It yields a mean SES effect size of r = .22 (deemed as large with reference to educational benchmarks, expected students’ achievement gains, and percentile points in achievement tests) but SES effects may be confounded with other demographics."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Individual meta-analyses report SES–achievement correlations ranging from r = .12 to r = .41 — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
