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 i0 In French, the contemporaneous effect of skills on self-concept was moderate (d = 0.33) and the lagged effect of self-concept on skills comparable (d = 0.25). → Núñez-Regueiro 2026 q3 i0 The alternative cross-effects (lagged effect of skills, contemporaneous effect of self-concept) were null or negligible in size (d = 0.22). → Núñez-Regueiro 2026 (2)

q3 · i0 · associational · r3

Effect sizes from the final RI-CCLPM French solution, approximated as Cohen's d representing expected standardized change following a one standard deviation increase. The contemporaneous effect was "of moderate size (d =0 .33)" and the lagged effect d = 0.25.

"In French, a similar asymmetry emerged, with a contemporaneous effect of skills of moderate size (d =0 .33) and a lagged effect of self-concept of comparable size (d =0 .25)."

q3 · i0 · associational · r3

Effect-size analysis of the RI-CCLPM cross-effects across domains. The alternative cross-effects were "null or negligible in size (d = 0.22)", indicating only the specific temporal effects predicted by the CL-REM were reliably present.

"In contrast, the alternative cross-effects—i.e., lagged effect of skills and contemporaneous effect of self-concept—were null or negligible in size (d = 0.22), suggesting that only specific temporal effects were reliably present."
