A meta-analysis finds high heterogeneity among included studies. What should the researcher consider doing?
A meta-analysis includes 10 studies with varying sample sizes. Why is it important to weight studies by sample size when calculating the overall effect size?
A researcher conducts a meta-analysis and finds a small effect size. What does this suggest about the relationship between the variables studied?
A student wants to conduct a meta-analysis on the effects of sleep on memory. List two important steps they should take before combining the results of different studies.
