Intervals

Confidence interval (95%) — uncertainty about the mean ρ
[-0.30, -0.16]
Credibility interval (95%) — distribution of the true effect across settings (the Bayesian prior)
[-0.36, -0.10]
I² (heterogeneity) — share of total variance from between-study differences
99%

The true effect varies across settings — moderators likely matter.

SD_ρ>0 — true effect varies across settings; likely moderated (observed-score scale until artifact correction, PRN-058)

Evidence provenance

published ρ=-0.23 (k=5, high heterogeneity (I²=0.99)); no primary-deployment evidence yet

Sourceρ (r)Scope
Published literature-0.23k = 5 · N = 156,857

No primary-deployment evidence yet — this prior rests on published literature alone. As anonymized, aggregated effect sizes from real deployments are contributed, they appear here as a distinct, publication-bias-free source, fused with the literature into a posterior estimate.
