This workshop, presented by Dr. Spyros Konstantopoulos, will provide an overview of meta-analysis, a statistical method for combining empirical evidence across studies that examine a certain topic and test comparable hypotheses. First, we will discuss the early stages of synthesizing research across a sample of studies such as data collection, coding, and data evaluation. Second, we will present the most commonly used indexes of effect sizes. Then, we will focus on the statistical methods involved when integrating research evidence. We will cover both fixed and mixed effects models and discuss their usefulness. Finally, multiple examples will be provided and SAS will be used to demonstrate the usefulness of the methods using real data. Registration begins February 1, 2010.
