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? Child, guardian, and teacher reports of the same children's noncognitive skills are correlated with each other. → Shuaizhang Feng 2022

q3 · i? · associational · r?
The longitudinal survey found that "reports from all three types of respondents are correlated with each other," while still differing in reliability and predictive power. No correlation coefficients are printed in the available text.
"Although reports from all three types of respondents are correlated with each other, teacher reports have the highest internal consistency"
