1 Meta-regression is a tool used in meta-analysis to examine the impact of moderator variables on study effect size using regression-based techniques. 2  Meta-regression is more effective at this task than are standard regression techniques.
There are two major models used in meta-analysis: fixed-effects and random-effects.â¦[section continues]. To benefit from the strengths of both models, we chose to aggregate the effect sizes and to conduct analyses using both approaches.â¦[section continues]. Results The data analysis included a description of the experiments we summarized, an estimation of overall effects, moderator analyses, and tests of mediation. Sample of Studies and Datasets Descriptive characteristics of the datasets included in the present meta-analysis appear in Table 2.â¦[section continues]. Overview of the Average Effect Sizes
