However, you have to convert each of these to a common “effect size” metric. * 2 June 2008 * 2 June 2008 RMF – Meta-analysis workshop (Marsh, O’Mara, Malmberg) RMF – Meta-analysis workshop (Marsh, O’Mara, Malmberg) RMF – Meta-analysis workshop (Marsh, O’Mara, Malmberg) * RMF – Meta-analysis workshop (Marsh, O’Mara, Malmberg) NCRM Research Methods Festival University of Oxford Dept of Education, University of Oxford Traditionally, social science researchers collect and analyse their own data (referred to as primary data). Secondary data analysis is based on data collected by someone else (or, perhaps, re-analysis of your own published data). There are at least four logical perspectives to this issue: 1. Meta-analysis -- systematic, quantitative review of published research in a particular field, the focus of this presentation. 2. Systematic review -- systematic, qualitative review of published research in a particular field 3. Secondary Data Analyses -- using large (typically public) databases 4. Re-analyses of published studies -- often in ways critical of the original study. * Systematic synthesis of various studies on a particular research question Do boys or girls have higher self-concepts? Collect all studies relevant to a topic Find all published journal articles on the topic An effect size (the ‘dependent variable’) is calculated for each outcome Determine the size/direction of gender difference for each study “Content analysis” code characteristics of the study; age, setting, ethnicity, self-concept domain (math, physical, social), etc. Effect sizes with similar features are grouped together and compared; tests moderator variables Do gender diffe
