ρ, mean population correlation; SDρ, estimated standard deviation of population correlations; CI, confidence interval; V%, percentage of variance accounted for by sampling error; K, number of independent study correlations; N, total sample size; M, arithmetic mean of single correlations; SD, standard deviation.

a

K is slightly lower than in the overall statistic in Table 2 due to the exclusion of two flagged cases and some zero results in our computations.

b

K is slightly lower than in the overall statistic in Table 2 due to the exclusion of two flagged cases.

c

For the non-meta-analytic computations, K is the number of single correlations.
