This vignette will walk you through estimating barebones meta-analyses of correlations between multiple constructs. For more vignettes, see the psychmeta overview.

Getting Started

To begin, you will need your meta-analytic data sheet for analysis. We recommend the rio package for importing data to R. For an introduction to rio, see vignette("rio", "rio").

psychmeta assumes that your data are in “long” format, with each row corresponding to one effect size. For example, this is the format used in this data frame:

knitr::kable(data_r_meas_multi[1:10,])

sample_id	moderator	x_name	y_name	n	rxyi	rxxi	ryyi	citekey
1	1	X	Y	416	0.49	0.79	0.77	Watson2005
1	1	X	Z	416	0.40	0.79	0.77	Watson2005
1	1	Y	Z	416	0.36	0.77	0.77	Watson2005
2	1	X	Y	241	0.54	0.82	0.84	Watson2005
2	1	X	Z	241	0.56	0.82	0.89	Watson2005
2	1	Y	Z	241	0.62	0.84	0.89	Watson2005
3	1	X	Y	479	0.34	0.73	0.87	Zellars2006
3	1	X	Z	479	0.40	0.73	0.79	Zellars2006
3	1	Y	Z	479	0.53	0.87	0.79	Zellars2006
4	1	X	Y	167	0.37	0.78	0.79	Bandura1980

In this table, - sample_id contains labels indicating the sample each effect size is drawn from; - moderator is a moderator variable, each row containing the effect size’s level for that moderator; - x_name and y_name are columns indicating the variables/constructs being related in the effect size; - n is the sample size for the effect size; - rxyi is the effect size (the correlation between the two constructs/variables); - rxxi and ryyi are the sample reliability values for the measures of the x_name and y_name variables, respectively; - citekey contains the citations keys for each study (used to generate bibliographies of included studies).

You can see this data set includes correlations among three variables: X, Y, and Z, and that each sample contributes several effect sizes, one each for for different pairs of variables/constructs.

If your data are in a different format, you can use the reshape_wide2long() function to reshape it.

Estimating a Barebones Meta-Analysis

Let’s assume your data frame is called coding_sheet.

coding_sheet <- data_r_meas_multi

head(coding_sheet)
#>   sample_id moderator x_name y_name   n rxyi rxxi ryyi    citekey
#> 1         1         1      X      Y 416 0.49 0.79 0.77 Watson2005
#> 2         1         1      X      Z 416 0.40 0.79 0.77 Watson2005
#> 3         1         1      Y      Z 416 0.36 0.77 0.77 Watson2005
#> 4         2         1      X      Y 241 0.54 0.82 0.84 Watson2005
#> 5         2         1      X      Z 241 0.56 0.82 0.89 Watson2005
#> 6         2         1      Y      Z 241 0.62 0.84 0.89 Watson2005

The primary function to conduct meta-analyses of correlations is ma_r(). To conduct barebones meta-analyses, run:

ma_res <- ma_r(rxyi = rxyi, 
               n = n, 
               construct_x = x_name,
               construct_y = y_name,
               sample_id = sample_id, 
               moderators = moderator,
               data = coding_sheet
               )
#>  **** Running ma_r: Meta-analysis of correlations ****

data is your data frame.
rxyi, n, construct_x, construct_y, sample_id, and moderators are the names of the columns in your data frame that contain the appropriate values.
- rxyi is the correlation effect sizes;
- n is the sample sizes;
- construct_x and construct_y are the labels for the variables/constructs being correlated;
- sample_id is the sample identification labels;
- moderators is a vector of moderator variable names for the meta-analyses.
- Column names can be provided either with quotes (e.g., "rxyi", "n") or without (e.g., rxyi, n).

To conduct a barebones meta-analysis, at minimum, n and rxyi are needed.

Modeling Options

By default, correlations are weighted by sample size. You can specify alternative weights using the wt_type argument.
Random-effects variance (τ² or SD_res²) is estimated using the Hunter-Schmidt estimator, computed using the unbiased sample variance estimator (i.e., dividing by \(k-1\) rather than \(k\)). To use the maximum-likelihood estimator instead, specify var_unbiased = FALSE.
Barebones results are corrected for the small-sample bias in the correlation coefficient. To disable this correction, specify correct_bias = FALSE.
By default, confidence and credibility intervals are constructed using a t distribution with \(k-1\) degrees of freedom. To use a normal distribution instead, specify, conf_method = "norm" and cred_method = "norm". To customize the coverage levels for these intervals, use the conf_level and cred_level arguments.

The psychmeta Meta-Analysis Object

A psychmeta meta-analsyis object is a data frame, with each row being a meta-analysis or subanalysis and each column containing information about or results from that analysis. For example, the results of the analysis above look like this:

ma_res

#> 
#> To extract results, try summary() or the get_stuff functions (run ?get_stuff for help).

Each row corresponds to a different pair of variables/constructs (X-Y; X-Z; Y-Z) and level of the moderator variable (overall/all levels pooled together; moderator = 1; moderator = 2).

analysis_id is a numeric label for each analysis;
pair_id is a numeric label for each pair of variables/constructs (X-Y; X-Z; Y-Z);
construct_x and construct_y indicate which variables/constructs are being meta-analyzed.
analysis_type indicates the type of analysis.
- “Overall” means an overall meta-analysis, pooling across all moderator levels.
- “Simple Moderator” means a subgroup moderator analysis of only studies with the specified levels of the moderator variable(s) in the next column(s).
  
  (See below for how to conduct meta-analyses with multiple moderator variables or with continuous moderators)
meta_tables contains the principal meta-analysis results tables.
escalc contains tables of effect sizes, sampling error variances, weights, residuals, and other data. These tables can be used for follow-up analyses or with the metafor package for additional meta-analysis techniques.

In this table,

analysis_id, pair_id, construct_x, construct_y, and the moderator columns are defined as above.
k is the number of effect sizes contributing to each meta-analysis. N is the total sample size contributing to each meta-analysis.
mean_r is the weighted mean correlation.
sd_r is the weighted observed standard deviation of correlations.
se_r is the standard error of mean_r.
sd_res is the estimated random-effects standard deviation (residual SD of correlations after accounting for sampling error).
CI_LL_95 and CI_UL_95 are the upper and lower bounds of the confidence interval for mean_r; the number indicates the coverage level (default: 95%).
CR_LL_80 and CR_UL_80 are the upper and lower bounds of the credibility interval for the estimated population distribution; the number indicates the coverage level (default: 80%).

Moderator Analyses

Results for subgroup analyses for different levels of categorical moderators are shown in the rows of the meta-analysis results table. To estimate confidence intervals for differences between levels or an omnibus ANOVA statistic, use the anova() function:

anova(ma_res)
#> Warning: There was 1 warning in `mutate()`.
#> ℹ In argument: `anova = purrr::map(.data$data, .anova.ma_psychmeta, conf_level)`.
#> ℹ In group 1: `pair_id = 1`, `construct_x = X`, `construct_y = Y`.
#> Caused by warning:
#> ! The `x` argument of `as_tibble.matrix()` must have unique column names if `.name_repair` is omitted as of tibble 2.0.0.
#> ℹ Using compatibility `.name_repair`.
#> ℹ The deprecated feature was likely used in the psychmeta package.

Correcting for Statistical Artifacts

See Artifact corrections](artifact_corrections.html).

Outputting Results

To output the main meta-analysis results table to RMarkdown, Word, HTML, PDF, or other formats, use the metabulate() function. For example, to output the above results to a Word document, run:

metabulate(ma_res, file = "meta-analysis_results.docx", output_format = "word")

Follow-Up Analyses

Plotting

You can add plots for each meta-analysis in ma_res using the plot_forest() and plot_funnel() functions:

ma_res <- plot_funnel(ma_res)
#> Funnel plots have been added to 'ma_obj' - use get_plots() to retrieve them.
ma_res <- plot_forest(ma_res)
#> Forest plots have been added to 'ma_obj' - use get_plots() to retrieve them.

You can view these plots using the get_plots() function. This will return a list of all of the plots in this results. Specify which meta-analysis you want to view plots for by passing its analysis_id to [[:

get_plots(ma_res)[["forest"]][[2]]
#> $moderated
#> NULL
#> 
#> $unmoderated
#> $unmoderated$barebones
#> 
#> $unmoderated$individual_correction
#> NULL
get_plots(ma_res)[["funnel"]][[2]]
#> $barebones
#> 
#> $individual_correction
#> list()
#> 
#> $artifact_distribution
#> list()

For forest plots, if you select an “Overall” meta-analysis, it will include plots faceted by moderator levels ("moderated") and not ("unmoderated"):

get_plots(ma_res)[["forest"]][[1]][["moderated"]][["barebones"]]
get_plots(ma_res)[["forest"]][[1]][["unmoderated"]][["barebones"]]

Heterogeneity Analyses

psychmeta reports the random-effects standard deviaton (τ or SD_res_) and credibility intervals (mean_r ± crit × SD_res) in the main meta-analaysis results tables. To view confidence intervals for SD_res_ or additional heterogeneity statistics, use the heterogeneity() function:

ma_res <- heterogeneity(ma_res)
#> Heterogeneity analyses have been added to 'ma_obj' - use get_heterogeneity() to retrieve them.
get_heterogeneity(ma_res)[[1]][["barebones"]]
#>

Publication Bias and Sensitivity Analyses

psychmeta supports cumulative meta-analysis for publication/small-sample bias detection, leave-1-out sensitivity analyses, and bootstrap confidence intervals using the sensitivity function:

ma_res <- sensitivity(ma_res)
#>  **** Computing sensitivity analyses ****
#> Bootstrapped meta-analyses have been added to 'ma_obj' - use get_bootstrap() to retrieve them.
#> leave-1-out meta-analyses have been added to 'ma_obj' - use get_leave1out() to retrieve them.
#> Cumulative meta-analyses have been added to 'ma_obj' - use get_cumulative() to retrieve them.
