This study is a meta-analysis on current research, which was then compared to older meta-analyses on the same topic. Results are promising and consistent with earlier meta-analyses. The average effect size of the current research was found to be 1.174 in current research, but more empirical research on the relationship between drama and social skills is needed to warrant a decisive conclusion.
