Each continuous moderator was dichotomized via a median split for presentation in this table.

*

Significantly different from referent group at p < .05

**

Significantly different from referent group at p < .01

R2 (L2) is the proportion of explained variance within studies

R2 (L3) is the proportion of explained variance between studies

Note. All values of g differed significantly from 0 at p < .01

k = number of effect sizes used in specific analysis

m = number of studies used in specific analysis
