All age groups are compared to the 18–35 years old baseline. k, number of samples included in the meta-analysis; N, total sample size for the respective age group across samples; , sample size weighted mean observed group difference; SDd, standard deviation of d; , sampling error of ; SDres, residual standard deviation; δ, sample size weighted mean group difference, corrected for attenuation due to measurement error in the Employee Green Behavior scales; SDδ, standard deviation of δ; CI, 90% two-tailed confidence interval; credibility interval, 80% credibility interval. The mean square root of internal consistency reliability estimate () across samples was 0.74.
