marginal significancep = 0.05
The quality of the teacher–child relationship also reached marginal significance in terms of gender ( t (511) = −1.93, p = 0.05, Cohen’s d = 0.17), which meant that left-behind girls ( M girs = 3.92, SD = 0.62) had a higher relationship quality with their teachers than boys ( M boys = 3.81, SD = 0.60).
