“…The use of meta-analytic structural equation modeling has been applied more frequently in the business literature (e.g., Brown & Peterson, 1993;Carson, Carson, & Roe, 1993;Hom, Caranikas-Walker, Prussia, & Griffeth, 1992;Verhaeghen & Salthouse, 1997;Viswesvaran & Ones, 1995) than in the social sciences literature (e.g., Becker, 1992a;Hafdahl, 2001). This approach has also been used most widely with path analytic models (e.g., Becker, 1992a;Hom, Caranikas-Walker, Prussia, & Griffeth, 1992;Hunter, 1983;Premack & Hunter, 1988;Schmidt, Hunter, & Outerbridge, 1986). However, the advent of latent-variable models with meta-analysis has also recently emerged (e.g., M. Cheung & Chan, 2002;Hafdahl, 2001).…”

Three methods of synthesizing correlations for meta-analytic structural equation modeling (SEM) under different degrees and mechanisms of missingness were compared for the estimation of correlation and SEM parameters and goodness-of-fit indices by using Monte Carlo simulation techniques. A revised generalized least squares (GLS) method for synthesizing correlations, weighted-covariance GLS (W-COV GLS), was compared with univariate weighting with untransformed correlations (univariate r) and univariate weighting with Fisher's z-transformed correlations (univariate z). These 3 methods were crossed with listwise and pairwise deletion. Univariate z and W-COV GLS performed similarly, with W-COV GLS providing slightly better estimation of parameters and more correct model rejection rates. Missing not at random data produced high levels of relative bias in correlation and model parameter estimates and higher incorrect SEM model rejection rates. Pairwise deletion resulted in inflated standard errors for all synthesis methods and higher incorrect rejection rates for the SEM model with univariate weighting procedures.

“…Of the 19 psychotherapy recta-analyses cited previously, none searched for mediators. However, in a meta-analysis about employee decisions to unionize, Premack and Hunter (1988) presented a simple path analysis in which wage level caused extrinsic satisfaction, which caused satisfaction with administration, which caused instrumentality of unionization, which caused a unionization decision. The present article develops this structural equation approach to mediators in meta-analysis and discusses its strengths and weaknesses.…”

In primary studies, psychotherapy researchers frequently search for mediator and moderator variables that can help them understand the relationship between treatment and outcome. Yet a review of past psychotherapy meta-analyses revealed that none examined the possible role of mediator variables; and although all of them searched for moderators of study outcome, that search was generally not as complete as it could have been. This article illustrates methods for studying such mediator and moderator variables in meta-analysis, discusses their advantages and disadvantages, and shows how the inclusion of these variables can change interpretation of meta-analytic results. In particular, the perennial interpretation of past psychotherapy meta-analyses that therapeutic orientation makes no difference to outcome--or as the dodo bird put it: "Everyone has won and all must have prizes'--may be wrong. Orientation may make significant difference, but only by virtue of its moderating and mediating effects.To the best of our knowledge, all meta-analyses ever done have concluded that (on the average) clients receiving psychotherapy do better than clients not receiving psychotherapy. In fact, the computation of average therapy effects over studies is the defining strength of meta-analysis. But this strength leads to a criticism of meta-analysis: Knowledge of average effects says nothing about when, where, why, and how therapy works. The latter questions concern mediators and moderators of therapy outcome. The present article describes methods for addressing such questions in meta-analysis.Moderators and mediators are third variables that help researchers to understand the relationship between independent and dependent variables (Baron & Kenny, 1986). "A moderator is a qualitative (e.g., sex, race, class) or quantitative (e.g., level of reward) variable that affects the direction and/or strength of the relations between an independent or predictor variable and a dependent or criterion variable" (Baron & Kenny, 1986, p. 1174. Moderators cause statistical interactions. Some moderator variables are categorical. Suppose, for example, that behavioral therapies yielded high effect sizes on behavioral presenting problems but low effect sizes on nonbehavioral presenting problems, with the opposite pattern emerging for nonbehav-

“…This study uses national culture to explain these differences. Third, prior research has focused on either micro-level individual factors or on macro-level factors, such as economic trends or country cultures (Black, 2001;Clark and oswald, 1993;Premack and Hunter, 1988;Singh, 2001). Using recently developed multilevel analytical techniques that enable research to cross levels of analysis (Raudenbush and Bryk, 2002;Singer, 1998), this study integrates micro-and macro-level streams of research through a cultural-cognitive theoretical framework (Scott, 2001).…”

Résumé de l'article La culture nationale et la syndicalisation : une approche culturelle et cognitive Voulant aller au-delà des perspectives normatives et régulatrices de la théorie néo-institutionnelle, cette étude se sert d'une perspective culturelle et cognitive pour étudier l'influence portée par les dimensions multiples d'une culture nationale sur la syndicalisation. Dans ce but, les structures culturelles ont été comparées en utilisant des données du World Values Survey qui ont été associés aux résultats de GLOBE et Hofstede sur la culture nationale (n = 43 867 employées, 32 pays). Des contrastes entre les résultats de GLOBE et de Hofstede ont démontré que ceux de GLOBE fournissaient de meilleurs indices et qu'ils offraient une meilleure compréhension de la relation entre la culture nationale et la syndicalisation. Ceci a résolu le paradoxe concernant l'absence d'un rapport important entre le collectivisme et la syndicalisation dans les recherches précédentes.Plus précisément, la syndicalisation a été associée de manière positive au collectivisme institutionnel, mais non pas au collectivisme en groupe. De plus, le fait que l'orientation de performance de GLOBE ait été associée de manière négative à la syndicalisation explique le rapport négatif entre la masculinité et la syndicalisation chez Hofstede dans les recherches précédentes.Par ailleurs, les recherches précédentes sur la syndicalisation ont utilisé en général soit des variables au niveau individuel (c'est-à-dire des employés), soit des variables au niveau macro (c'est-à-dire du pays) pour expliquer la syndicalisation. Des techniques statistiques développées récemment ont permis l'analyse à la fois des variables individuelles et nationales dans un modèle hiérarchique. Les résultats ont démontré que la syndicalisation était associée de manière positive au sexe (féminin), au niveau de scolarité et au collectivisme institutionnel; la syndicalisation était aussi associée, de manière négative, au travail (superviseurs et professionnels) et à l'orientation vers la performance. ,867 employees, 32 countries). Union membership was positively related to GloBE's institutional Collectivism, but not Hofstede's individualism; and was negatively related to both Performance orientation (GloBE) and Masculinity (Hofstede), suggesting that differences in culture measures may account for prior inconsistent findings. Curvilinear relationships between union membership and age (inverted U-shaped) and Uncertainty avoidance (U-shaped) suggest that Uncertainty avoidance may explain why younger and older people were less likely to be union members.
