Thanks @jeffgreene.bsky.social for sharing our meta-analysis led by Zohreh Fathi! Kudos to co-authors @pedram-zarei.bsky.social, @arnobsaha.bsky.social, & Sanzida Sharmeen! Faculty-student relationships are vital but complex; we tried to consider 6 dimensions! Open-access: doi.org/10.1007/s106...

It's cliche but I really believe it: no one cares how much you know until they know how much you care. And "care" is multidimensional, as this meta-analysis shows. Perceived faculty-student relationship quality positively predicted both performance and persistence. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky
