Doleman, Brett; Freeman, Suzanne C.; Lund, Jonathan N.; Williams, John P.; Sutton, Alex J. – Research Synthesis Methods, 2020
This study aimed to determine for continuous outcomes dependent on baseline risk, whether funnel plot asymmetry may be due to statistical artefact rather than publication bias and evaluate a novel test to resolve this. Firstly, we conducted assessment for publication bias in nine meta-analyses of postoperative analgesics (344 trials with 25 348…

Murayama, Kou; Sakaki, Michiko; Yan, Veronica X.; Smith, Garry M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2014
In order to examine metacognitive accuracy (i.e., the relationship between metacognitive judgment and memory performance), researchers often rely on by-participant analysis, where metacognitive accuracy (e.g., resolution, as measured by the gamma coefficient or signal detection measures) is computed for each participant and the computed values are…

Watts, Sarah E.; Weems, Carl F. – Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 2006
The purpose of this study was to examine the linkages among selective attention, memory bias, cognitive errors, and anxiety problems by testing a model of the interrelations among these cognitive variables and childhood anxiety disorder symptoms. A community sample of 81 youth (38 females and 43 males) aged 9-17 years and their parents completed…

Kromrey, Jeffrey D.; Rendina-Gobioff, Gianna – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2006
The performance of methods for detecting publication bias in meta-analysis was evaluated using Monte Carlo methods. Four methods of bias detection were investigated: Begg's rank correlation, Egger's regression, funnel plot regression, and trim and fill. Five factors were included in the simulation design: number of primary studies in each…

Fabrigar, Leandre R.; Krosnick, Jon A. – Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, 1995
Explores the possibility that importance may regulate the magnitude of the false consensus effect. Analysis revealed a strong false consensus effect but no reliable relation between its magnitude and attitude importance. Results contradict assumptions that the false consensus effect arises from attitudes that directly or indirectly influence…
