Moderator analysis of the 38 effect sizes by education level, reported in Table 4 with subgroup ns of 6, 24, 6, and 2 comparisons. The between-groups test was significant (QB=16.404, p<0.05); subgroup effect sizes ranged from d=1.257 (primary) to d=3.049 (high school).

"As seen in Table 4, the effect sizes were d=1.257 for primary school, d=2.856 for secondary school, d=3.049 for high school, and d=1.916 for university. The most significant effect size belongs to the high school level, and the least effect size belongs to the primary school level. The analysis showed a statistically significant difference between the effect sizes (QB =16.404, p<0.05)."
