Usage

data("stasielowicz2020")

Format

A data frame with 133 rows and 23 variables:

  • id: unique id of study

  • effect_id: unique id of effect

  • author: author of study

  • pub_year: year of publication

  • pub_type: publication type (1 = journal article, 2 = book chapter, 3 = dissertation, 4 = master's thesis, 5 = bachelor's thesis, 6 = conference proceedings, 7 = report, 8 = other (eg., unpublished manuscript))

  • peer_review: whether publication was peer-reviewed (0 = no, 1 = yes)

  • n: sample size for effect size

  • yi: effect size (r)

  • vi: sampling variance (SE^2)

  • adapt_measures: assessment method(s) of adaptation used in the study (1 = self-report, 2 = other people, 3 = objective, 4 = mixed)

  • adapt_method: assessment method of adaption (1 = subjective ratings, 2 = objective scores)

  • adapt_method_specific: specific assessement method of adaptation used for the particular effect size (1 = self-report, 2 = other people, 3 = objective)

  • subj_adapt_definition: definition for subjective ratings of performance adaptations ("narrow" or "broad")

  • cog_abil_measure: measurement method of cognitive abilities

  • ca_measure: categorized measure of cognitive abilities ("general", "specific" or "ACT/SAT/GPA")

  • financ_support: financial support (e.g., grant; 0 = no, 1 = yes)

  • sex: sex (1 = female sample, 2 = male sample, 3 = mixed sample)

  • men_prop: proportion of men in sample

  • country: country of sample

  • sample: sample type (1 = students, 2 = employees, 3 = manager, 4 = mixed, 5 = other)

  • task: task used to measure performance adaptation ("simulation/video game", "SJT", or "Other")

  • complexity_component: coordinative complexity of the task (0 = relatively low, 1 = relatively high)

  • complexity_coordinative: dynamic complexity of the task (0 = relatively low, 1 = relatively high)
