A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Meta-analysis can be understood as a form of survey research in which research reports, rather than people, are surveyed. But, how does a researcher select relevant research studies, code their various characteristics and quantitative findings, and analyze and describe their collective results in a valid and useful manner ? Through an emphasis on practical procedures and a consideration of choices for implementing them, Lipsey and Wilson provide readers with an answer to this question in a user-friendly, state-of-the-art presentation of meta-analysis. The authors lay out each step of meta-analysis from problem formulation through statistical analysis and the interpretation of results. In addition, they offer readers :

• Detailed advice about formatting coding forms, estimating effect size, and conducting statiscal analysis

• Coverage of meta-analysis with all the effect size statistics commonly used in different fields (standardized mean difference, correlation, odds ratio, etc.) plus some specialized ones

• Macros that can be used with popular statistical programs to perform meta-analysis calculations

• Frequent examples to illustrate important points and procedures

This book offers readers the best of both worlds : technical sophistication coupled with user-friendly, practical information for doing meta-analysis.
