39 study rows on household chaos and child executive functions from a meta-analysis by Andrews et al. (2021)

The data set contains raw correlation coefficients and sampling information using metafor-compatible column names (ri, vi, sei, ni, and slab), together with study-level moderators from the original data set. Three source rows have missing effect-size inputs and are omitted automatically by model-fitting functions that require complete outcomes. The original data set assessed the effect of household chaos on child executive functions (Andrews et al. 2021) and was used as an example in Bartoš et al. (2025) .
