Description and Table of Contents
Description
Rosenthal describes meta-analytic procedures (the quantitative summary of a research domain) in sufficient detail for readers either to carry them out for themselves, or evaluate them when used by others. The book addresses itself to techniques for solving the problems of poor cumulation and small effects -- both of which are sources of pessimism in the social and behavioural sciences. Elementary algebra is all that is required for this book, designed for advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and researchers.
