The Relation Between Self-Regulated Learning and Academic Achievement Across Childhood and Adolescence: A Meta-Analysis (2015, positive): “A shifting unit of analysis approach (Cooper 2010) is frequently adopted (e.g., Patall et al. 2008), as it was for this meta-analysis6.”
The Relationship Between Component Skills and Writing Quality and Production Across Developmental Levels (2016, methodology): “As recommended by Cooper (2009), the ES from each sample was weighted independently based on the respective sample size.”
The effectiveness of celebrity endorsements: a meta-analysis (2016, background): “While ignoring these problems is clearly not satisfactory, the latter two approaches are rather broadly accepted (Borenstein et al. 2009; Cooper 2010).”
The effect of exposure to sexual appeals in advertisements on memory, attitude, and purchase intention: a meta-analytic review (2018, methodology): “Our efforts to establish intercoder reliability were informed by Riffe, Lacy, and Fico (2014) and Cooper (2010).”
Socioeconomic Status and Academic Outcomes in Developing Countries: A Meta-Analysis (2019, methodology): “A shifting unit of analysis was used for the moderator analyses such that the unit of analysis was not limited to the study level (Cooper, 2010).”
Anonymity and Online Self-Disclosure: A Meta-Analysis (2019, methodology): “Cooper (2009) suggested this method as a way to find unpublished data and to access the “invisible college”; in other words, scientists who work within similar research areas and are influential may be aware each other’s work (Cooper, Hedges, & Valentine, 2009).”
Classroom climate and children’s academic and psychological wellbeing: A systematic review and meta-analysis (2020, background): “Our meta-analytic findings are mostly based on correlational studies; hence, we cannot assume causality in the association between classroom climate and youth outcomes (Cooper, 2015).”
Social Skill Interventions for Youth and Adults With Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Systematic Review (2018, methodology): “The number of measures and constructs assessed can limit the usefulness of an aggregated ES estimate (Cooper, 2017).”
The moderating influences on the relationship of corporate reputation with its antecedents and consequences: A meta-analytic review (2015, methodology): “We conducted a test of homogeneity as suggested by Cooper (2010) for each association between corporate reputation and any of its antecedents or consequences.”
Cross-National Predictors of Crime: A Meta-Analysis (2011, methodology): “These coded variations can then be analyzed as moderator variables when conducting the ANOVA analogue and meta-regression (Cooper, 2010; Littell et al., 2008).”
A meta-analysis on the impact of grades and comments on academic motivation and achievement: a case for written feedback (2019, methodology): “We used a fixed-effect model of error to conduct all analyses (Borenstein et al., 2009; Cooper, 2017; see Supplemental File A).”
Critical Appraisal of Mixed Methods Studies (2013, methodology): “The critical appraisal of articles to be included in a review is an essential step in the development of a methodologically sound review (Cooper, 2010; Khan, Riet, Popay, Nixon, & Kleijnen, 2001; Major & Savin-Baden, 2010; Whittemore & Knafl, 2005).”
