This document provides an introduction to meta-analysis, including its history and key concepts. It discusses how meta-analysis aggregates findings from multiple studies to evaluate the overall direction and magnitude of effects, rather than just determining significance. The document outlines important considerations for conducting a meta-analysis, such as which studies to include, how to code study characteristics, and how coding can be used to examine relationships between study design and effect sizes. Key recommendations include coding detailed information about each study's sample, measures, design, and validity to allow for comparisons across studies.

Introduction to quantitative and qualitative researchLiz FitzGerald
This presentation, delivered in an Open University CALRG Building Knowledge session, gives a preliminary introduction to both quantitative and qualitative research approaches. There has been widespread debate when considering the relative merits of quantitative and qualitative strategies for research. Positions taken by individual researchers vary considerably, from those who see the two strategies as entirely separate, polar opposites that are based upon alternative views of the world, to those who are happy to mix these strategies within their research projects. We consider the different strengths, weaknesses and suitability of different approaches and draw upon some examples to highlight their use within educational technology.
Dr Calzada delivered a lecture regarding Mixed Methods and Triangulation as a complex way in which research combines qualitative and quantitative sequential or concurrent approach.

meta_intro_141.ppt
1. Introduction to Meta-Analysis
• a bit of history
• definitions, strengths & weaknesses
• what studies to include ???
• “choosing” vs. “coding & comparing” studies
• what information to code along with each effect size ???
2. What got all this started?
The two events that seem to have defined &
stimulated meta-analysis in Psychology
• In 1952, Hans J. Eysenck reviewed the available
literature and concluded that there were no favorable
effects of psychotherapy – guess how that went
over…
– 20 additional years of empirical research “failed to
resolve the debate”
• In 1978, Gene V. Glass statistically aggregated the
findings of 375 psychotherapy outcome studies
– Glass (and colleague Smith) concluded that
psychotherapy did indeed work
– Glass called his method “meta-analysis”
3. The Emergence of Meta-Analysis
The statistical ideas behind meta-analysis predate Glass’s work…
R. A. Fisher (1944)
• “When a number of quite independent tests of significance
have been made, it sometimes happens that although few or
none can be claimed individually as significant, yet the
aggregate gives an impression that the probabilities are on
the whole lower than would often have been obtained by
chance”
• Source of the idea of aggregating probability values
W. G. Cochran (1953)
• Discusses a method of averaging means across independent
studies
• Laid-out much of the statistical foundation that modern meta-
analysis is built upon (e.g., inverse variance weighting and
homogeneity testing)
4. The Logic of Meta-Analysis
• Traditional methods of review focus on statistical
significance testing to decide “whether or not” there is an
effect (though we really don’t “believe” in the H0:”)
• Significance testing is not well suited to this task
– highly dependent on sample size
– Most errors are Type II errors (e.g., Butcher’s 59%)
– question of comparability of studies of “same study”
• Meta-analysis changes the focus to the direction and
magnitude of the effects across studies
– Isn’t this what we are interested in anyway?
– Direction and magnitude represented by the effect size
5. When is meta-analysis applicable?
• Meta-analysis is applicable to collections of research that…
– are empirical, rather than theoretical
– produce quantitative results, rather than qualitative findings
(need means and variances)
– have findings that can be configured in a comparable
statistical form (e.g., as effect sizes, correlation coefficients,
odds-ratios, etc.)
– examine constructs and relationships that are “comparable”
given the question at hand
– Can compute, approximate, or estimate an effect size (ES)
6. Kinds of Research Amenable to Meta-Analysis
• Central Tendency Research
– prevalence rates & averages
• Between Group Contrasts
– Experimental designs
– Non-experimental & Natural Groups designs
• Within-Groups Contrasts
– Experimental designs
– Non-experimental & Pre-Post designs
• Studies of Statistical Association Between Variables
– measurement research (e.g., reliability & validitty)
– individual differences research
7. The “Parts” of a meta-analysis
• Each study / analysis is a “case” in the meta analysis
– simple studies will have single analysis giving a single ES
– more complex studies may yield several ESs
• Effect Size (ES) is the “dependent variable” in the meta
analysis
– is comparable across studies
– represents the magnitude & direction of the effect of interest
– is independent of sample size
• Other “important” attributes of the study / analysis producing the
effect size are the “independent variables” in the meta analysis
– these have to be coded into the database
8. What are the strengths of meta-analysis ?
• A disciplined and quantitative approach to combining and
comparing empirical research findings
• Is a non-hierarchical approach – doesn’t favor earlier or later
studies as a “starting place” to which we compare other
studies
• Protects against over-interpreting differences across studies
• Can handle a large numbers of studies (this would
overwhelm traditional approaches to review)
• Allows us to evaluate what attributes of a study are related
to smaller vs. larger effect sizes
• Allows us to better balance concerns about “maximum effect
size” and “maximum representativeness” when designing
studies
• Allows us to plan smarter, more sensitive, and more useful
studies!
9. What are the weaknesses* of meta-analysis ?
• Requires a huge amount of effort
• “Apples and oranges”; comparability of studies is often in the
“eye of the beholder” (Wilson)
• Most meta-analyses include “blemished” studies
• Various forms of subjectivity…
– What studies to include in the meta analyses
– What study attributes to code
– Coding of those attributes
• Often can’t obtain study results or can’t summarize as effect
sizes
• Analysis of between study differences is fundamentally
correlational
* None of these should impress you!
10. Which Studies to Include?
A bit of an aside…
• The main meta analytic question used to be…
“What is the size of the effect under study?”
• Leading to the question “What studies should we include?”
• The answer used to be “all comparable studies”
• You might imagine that answer led to much argument…
• Are studies using… … comparable?
– …different operationalizations / measures of the DV…
– …experimental and non-experimental designs…
– …different populations (or subpopulations)…
– …different tasks … stimuli … equipment… settings …
11. The Replication Continuum
Pure
Replications
Conceptual
Replications
You have to be able to argue that the collection of studies
chosen for meta-analysis examine the same relationship.
This may be at a broad level of abstraction, such as the
relationship between criminal justice interventions and
recidivism or between school-based prevention programs
and problem behavior. Alternatively it may be at a narrow
level of abstraction and represent pure replications.
The closer to pure replications your collection of
studies, the easier it is to argue comparability.
(Lipsey & Wilson, 1993)
12. Which Studies to Include?
• The main meta analytic question is now more commonly…
“What things influence the size of the effect under study?”
• Leading to the answer Every study of “the effect”
• Leading to the question “What attributes should we include?”
• The answer is “all important attributes”
• Lots of coding, from careful methodological evaluation of each
study!!! This is often the hardest part of the meta analysis!!!!
Said differently…
Meta analyses were primarily used in the past to “combine effect
sizes from comparable studies,” usually to ask if the effect was
“non-zero” (e.g., Glass & Smith).
Meta analyses are primarily used currently to “examine
relationships between how a study is conducted and the effect
sizes obtained from that study.”
13. So (finally) … Which Studies to Include?
• You must have explicit criteria for what studies you include
• Those criteria must conform to the “standards of your people”
• “Published studies” won’t hack it !
– Because studies retaining Null are less likely to be
published, including only published studies biases effect
size estimates away from 0.
• Potential sources for identification of documents
– computerized bibliographic databases
– authors working in the research domain
– conference programs
– dissertations
– review articles
– hand searching relevant journals
– government reports, bibliographies, clearinghouses
14. Which Information to Include about each study?
Coding your database, so that you know “all the important stuff”
about each study has 4 purposes. The coding will help you ,,,
• identify groups of studies that are “replications”
• compare studies to understand what design elements are
related to the size of the effect found
• Adjust/correct individual effect sizes to give more useful values
• It will give you a better understanding of the research literature
than you can possibly imagine!!!
– Folks who survive the meta-analysis process often say that
this was the most valuable result of their study
– You will see details, similarities, differences, genus &
mistakes in a literature that you thought you knew!!!!
What attributes of the study to code ???
Everything that may be influencing the results & effect size !!!
15. On the next several pages are summaries of materials we’ve
used in previous classes to characterize and evaluate
research designs – any of the attributes listed could add
value to your meta-analysis.
Put differently…
Everything that can influence study results & statistical
conclusion validity can also influence the effect size found!!!
• All-the-Words page – organizing the design/validity jargon
• Validity Net – organizing the jargon around article critiquing
• Researcher Choices – organizing jargon around designing
studies
• Relationships among the types of research validity
• Variance sources in research designs & procedures
19. Measurement Validity
Do the measures/data of
our study represent the
characteristics & behaviors
we intended to study?
External Validity
Do the who, where, what &
when of our study represent
what we intended want to
study?
Internal Validity
Are there confounds or 3rd
variables that interfere with the
characteristic & behavior
relationships we intend to study?
Statistical Conclusion Validity
Do our results represent the relationships between characteristics and
behaviors that we intended to study?
• did we get non-representative results “by chance” ?
• did we get non-representative results because of external, measurement or
internal validity flaws in our study?
Suggested Data to Code Along with the Effect Size
20. SSTotal = SSIV + SSsubcon+ SSproccon + SSIndif+ SSwcsubinf + SSwcprocinf
Sources of variability…
SSIV IV
SSsubcon subject variable confounds (initial eq problems)
SSproccon procedural variable confounds (ongoing eq pbms)
SSindif population individual differences
SSwcsubinf within-condition subject variable influences
SSwcprocinf within-condition procedural variable influences
Suggested Data to Code Along with the Effect Size
21. Suggested Data to Code Along with the Effect Size
1. A label or ID so you can backtrack to the exact analysis
from the exact study – you will be backtracking!!!
2. Sample size for each group *
3. Sample attributes (mean age, proportion female, etc.) #
4. DV construct & specific operationalization / measure #
5. Point in time (after/during TX) when DV was measured #
6. Reliability & validity of DV measure *
7. Standard deviation of DV measure *
8. Type of statistical test used *#
9. Between group or within-group comparison / design #
10.True, quasi-, or non-experimental design #
11.Details about IV manipulation or measurement #
12.External validity elements (pop, setting, task/stimulus) #
13.“Quality” of the study #
– better yet data about attributes used to eval quality!!!
# Used to compare studies
* Used to “adjust” effect sizes
