PSY 319P
Description:
This seminar focuses on the conceptual basis and techniques for conducting meta-analyses. Rather than a statistical technique or statistical perspective, Meta-analysis represents a set of methods for quantitatively integrating findings across multiple studies. There are three basic goals to metaanalyses: (a) determining whether the effect of some variable / manipulation is reliably different from zero when considered across multiple studies in a literature, (b) if so, in what direction and how large is this effect; and (c) identifying predictors (i.e., moderators) of the size of this effect.
