This meta-analysis examined the validity of an alternative to traditional assessments called the Wonderlic which is a brief measure of general mental ability. Our results showed significant, positive correlations between Wonderlic scores and academic performance in general ([r-bar] = 0.26), between Wonderlic scores and undergraduate GPA in…

Noma, Hisashi; Hamura, Yasuyuki; Sugasawa, Shonosuke; Furukawa, Toshi A. – Research Synthesis Methods, 2023
Network meta-analysis has played an important role in evidence-based medicine for assessing the comparative effectiveness of multiple available treatments. The prediction interval has been one of the standard outputs in recent network meta-analysis as an effective measure that enables simultaneous assessment of uncertainties in treatment effects…

Gusenbauer, Michael; Haddaway, Neal R. – Research Synthesis Methods, 2020
Rigorous evidence identification is essential for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (evidence syntheses) because the sample selection of relevant studies determines a review's outcome, validity, and explanatory power. Yet, the search systems allowing access to this evidence provide varying levels of precision, recall, and reproducibility and…

Suurmond, Robert; van Rhee, Henk; Hak, Tony – Research Synthesis Methods, 2017
We present a new tool for meta-analysis, "Meta-Essentials," which is free of charge and easy to use. In this paper, we introduce the tool and compare its features to other tools for meta-analysis. We also provide detailed information on the validation of the tool. Although free of charge and simple, "Meta-Essentials"…

Elicited Imitation as a Measure of Second Language Proficiency: A Narrative Review and Meta-Analysis
Yan, Xun; Maeda, Yukiko; Lv, Jing; Ginther, April – Language Testing, 2016
Elicited imitation (EI) has been widely used to examine second language (L2) proficiency and development and was an especially popular method in the 1970s and early 1980s. However, as the field embraced more communicative approaches to both instruction and assessment, the use of EI diminished, and the construct-related validity of EI scores as a…

Swanson, Elizabeth; Austin, Christy R.; Stewart, Alicia A.; Scammacca, Nancy – Reading & Writing Quarterly, 2020
To better understand the impact of using e-books on students' reading outcomes, we conducted a meta-analysis of 14 studies with students in grades K-12 published between 2007 and 2018. Findings revealed an average effect size across all studies and reading outcomes of 0.9 that did not differ significantly from zero. There was also no statistically…

Erford, Bradley T.; Johnson, Erin; Bardoshi, Gerta – Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, 2016
This meta-analysis reviewed 144 studies from 1996 to 2013 using the Beck Depression Inventory-Second Edition. Internal consistency was 0.89 and test-retest reliability 0.75. Convergent comparisons were robust across 43 depression instruments. Structural validity supported both one- and two-factor solutions and diagnostic accuracy varied according…

Ross, Steven J.; Mackey, Beth – Language Learning, 2015
This chapter introduces three applications of Bayesian inference to common and novel issues in second language research. After a review of the critiques of conventional hypothesis testing, our focus centers on ways Bayesian inference can be used for dealing with missing data, for testing theory-driven substantive hypotheses without a default null…

Bas, Gökhan – Educational Sciences: Theory and Practice, 2016
The main purpose of this study is to determine the effect of multiple intelligences theory (MIT)-based education on students' academic achievement. In this research, the meta-analytic method was adopted to determine this effect, and studies related to this subject carried out in Turkey were compiled. The effect sizes of the studies included in the…

Babchishin, Kelly M.; Hanson, R. Karl; Helmus, Leslie – Assessment, 2012
Criterion-referenced measures, such as those used in the assessment of crime and violence, prioritize predictive accuracy (discrimination) at the expense of construct validity. In this article, we compared the discrimination and incremental validity of three commonly used criterion-referenced measures for sex offenders (Rapid Risk Assessment for…

Munder, Thomas; Fluckiger, Christoph; Gerger, Heike; Wampold, Bruce E.; Barth, Jurgen – Journal of Counseling Psychology, 2012
Many meta-analyses of comparative outcome studies found a substantial association of researcher allegiance (RA) and relative treatment effects. Therefore, RA is regarded as a biasing factor in comparative outcome research (RA bias hypothesis). However, the RA bias hypothesis has been criticized as causality might be reversed. That is, RA might be…

Education and related services are relying increasingly on empirically supported treatments (ESTs), which have been shown to improve student outcomes through rigorous research. Many organizations have developed review systems with guidelines for judging the quality of studies and identifying ESTs. However, little explicit attention has been paid…

Freund, Philipp Alexander; Kasten, Nadine – Psychological Bulletin, 2012
Individuals' perceptions of their own level of cognitive ability are expressed through self-estimates. They play an important role in a person's self-concept because they facilitate an understanding of how one's own abilities relate to those of others. People evaluate their own and other persons' abilities all the time, but self-estimates are also…
