Synopsis

What research designs and methodological features qualify a study for meta-analysis and which disqualify it? What types of research reports are appropriate for the meta-analysis? What is the cultural and linguistic range of the studies to be included? By integrating and translating the current methodological and statistical work into a practical guide, the authors address these questions to provide readers with a state-of-the-art introduction to the various approaches to doing meta-analysis.

À propos de la 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.
