Note. r = mean effect size, weighted by sample size; 95% confidence intervals are given in brackets [ ]; k = number of samples included in average correlation; j = number of effect sizes included in average correlation; N = number of participants included in average correlation. Average correlations are not independent; effects were allowed in multiple categories.
