Abstract

Using R to conduct univariate meta-analyses is becoming common for publication. However, R can also conduct multivariate meta-analysis (MMA). However, newcomers to both R and MMA may find using R to conduct MMA daunting. Given that, R may not be easy for those unfamiliar with coding. Likewise, MMA is a topic of advanced statistics. Thus, it may be very challenging for most newcomers to conduct MMA using R. If this holds, this can be viewed as a practice gap. In other words, the practice gap is that researchers are not capable of using R to conduct MMA in practice. This is problematic. This paper alleviates this practice gap by illustrating how to use R (the metaSEM package) to conduct MMA on educational psychology data. Here, the metaSEM package is used to obtain the required MMA text outputs. However, the metaSEM package is not capable of producing the other required graphical outputs. As a result, the metafor package is also used as a complimentary to generate the required graphical outputs. Ultimately, we hope that our audience will be able to apply what they learn from this method paper to conduct MMA using R in their teaching, research, and publication.
使用 R 对教育心理学数据进行多元元分析:方法研究
使用 R 进行单变量荟萃分析已成为发表文章的常用方法。不过,R 也可以进行多变量荟萃分析(MMA)。然而,对于 R 和 MMA 的新手来说,使用 R 进行 MMA 可能会令人生畏。因此,对于不熟悉编码的人来说,使用 R 可能并不容易。同样,MMA 也是一个高级统计学课题。因此,对于大多数新手来说,使用 R 进行 MMA 可能非常具有挑战性。换句话说,实践差距就是研究人员在实践中无法使用 R 进行 MMA。这是一个问题。本文通过说明如何使用 R(metaSEM 软件包)对教育心理学数据进行 MMA,来缓解这一实践差距。本文使用 metaSEM 软件包来获取所需的 MMA 文本输出。但是,metaSEM 软件包无法生成其他所需的图形输出。因此,我们还使用 metafor 软件包来生成所需的图形输出。最终,我们希望读者能够在教学、研究和出版过程中应用从这篇方法论文中学到的知识,使用 R 进行 MMA 分析。
