Weighting by Inverse Variance or by Sample Size in Random-Effects Meta-Analysis (2010, unknown): “…2001; Erez, Bloom, & Wells, 1996; Field, 2001, 2003, 2005; Hedges & Vevea, 1998; Hunter & Schmidt, 2000; Kisamore & Brannick, 2008; National Research Council, 1992; Overton, 1998; Raudenbush, 1994; Sánchez-Meca & Marı́n-Martı́nez, 2008; Schmidt, 2008; Schmidt, Oh, & Hayes, 2009; Schulze, 2007).”
A Meta-Analysis of Job Satisfaction Correlates in the Public Administration Literature (2016, background): “However, the random-effects model rests on additional assumptions, including the following: (a) The distribution of the effect sizes in the population is normal; (b) the sample of primary studies is representative of the population; and (c) the number of primary studies makes the computational proce”
A Meta-Analysis of the Effectiveness of Health Belief Model Variables in Predicting Behavior (2010, methodology): “The correlation coefficient was not transformed to Fisher's z because recent simulation studies have shown that the transformation tends to reduce accuracy more than the small bias produced by the untransformed correlation coefficient ( Schulze, 2007 ).”
The Proportion of Sexual Offenders Who Are Female Is Higher Than Thought (2017, background): “When the analysis includes a small number of studies (k 30), greater interpretation weight should be given to fixed-effect rather than random-effects analyses because the between-study variability estimate necessary for random-effects analyses (i.e., tau) loses precision (Schulze, 2007).”
Student Evaluations of Teaching: Are They Related to What Students Learn? (2009, methodology): “The meta-analysis was conducted consistent with procedures recommended by investigators who have studied the problem of combining data from numerous published results (Hunter & Schmidt, 2004; Lyons, 1997: Rosenthal, Rosnow, & Rubin, 2000; Schulze, 2007).”
Fear and Loathing in Psychopaths: a Meta-Analytic Investigation of the Facial Affect Recognition Deficit (2011, unknown): “…the relative benefits of using a random versus fixed effects model appear to break down when examining small numbers of studies (≤ 30), and the conservative nature of random effects models would make it difficult to discern specific patterns of moderators in a small meta-analysis (Schulze, 2007).”
Transformational leadership sub-dimensions and their link to leaders' personality and performance (2015, methodology): “This is a recent development in metaanalytical techniques (Schulze, 2007).”
Meta-Analyses of Sex Differences in Responses to Sexual Versus Emotional Infidelity (2012, methodology): “The correlation coefficient was not transformed to Fisher’s z because recent simulation studies have shown that this transformation tends to reduce accuracy in meta-analyses (Schulze, 2007).”
The relationship between nature connectedness and happiness: a meta-analysis (2014, background): “Despite its advantages, the random-effects model is a more conservative test and unstable when the number of samples is smaller than 30 (Overton, 1998; Schulze, 2007).”
Death Goes to the Polls: A Meta-Analysis of Mortality Salience Effects on Political Attitudes* (2013, methodology): “In accordance with recent developments in meta-analysis (e.g., Kisamore & Brannick, 2008; Schmidt & Hunter, 2003; Schulze, 2007), we employed random effects models for our analyses because the assumptions underlying the use of such models are better suited to behavioral science and generally…”
A Meta-Analysis of the Convergent Validity of Self-Control Measures (2011, background): “An important conceptual question for meta-analyses is whether to assume a fixed or random effects model (cf. Field, 2001; Hunter & Schmidt, 2004; Schulze, 2007).”
