Sample
Meta-analysis of whole-school social and emotional development interventions; study count not obtained
Population
School students.
Design
Recorded at secondary read depth from Wigelsworth et al. 2022's full text, which uses it to make the point that separating whole-school approaches from classroom curricula roughly halves the estimate. The paper itself was not opened, so only the single reported figure is entered.
Key findings
d = 0.22 for social and emotional skills - described by an independent overview of reviews as at least half the estimates produced by meta-analyses that do not differentiate whole-school components from classroom curricula.
Genetic confound
Medium - underlying design mix not established.
Replication notes
Not applicable.
