“…Table reports the basic characteristics of the included studies, including information on the size of the meta‐analyses and the types of effect sizes studied. Overall, we reviewed 64 meta‐analyses: 24 in PB, 13 in RER, four in JAP, and 23 in Cochrane . Not surprisingly, reviews conducted in education and psychology tended to include more primary studies (with averages ranging from 69 to 99 studies per synthesis) than those in medicine (average of 26 included studies).…”

Having surveyed the history and methods of meta-regression in a previous paper, in this paper, we review which and how meta-regression methods are applied in recent research syntheses. To do so, we reviewed studies published in 2016 across four leading research synthesis journals: Psychological Bulletin, the Journal of Applied Psychology, Review of Educational Research, and the Cochrane Library. We find that the best practices defined in the previous review are rarely carried out in practice. In light of the identified discrepancies, we consider how to move forward, first by identifying areas where further methods development is needed to address persistent problems in the field and second by discussing how to more effectively disseminate points of methodological consensus. technical, conceptual, and practical developments in methodology from the past 40 years. We begin by reviewing consensus points from our review of methodological developments and best practices. We then summarize findings from previous reviews of methodological practice conducted over the past 15 years, focusing on findings that shed light on the practice of meta-regression. Finally, we conduct a new-albeit limited-review of the applied literature, examining 64 meta-analyses published during the year 2016 in four leading journals: Psychological Bulletin, the Review of Educational Research, the Journal of Applied Psychology, and the Cochrane Library. Our review examines current practices in light of the technical, conceptual, and practical areas of methodological development, as identified in our companion paper. We conclude by considering the disconnects between meta-regression methodology and meta-regression practice and suggesting possible avenues to move forward as a field.

Beyond minimizing errors, a predictive model 2 These small increases in metabolic rate during neural "activation" have been taken as evidence against resourcebased accounts of cognitive effort (Kurzban et al, 2013;Orquin & Kurzban, 2016), including a well-known account that hypothesized cognitive effort depletes circulating blood-glucose . Evidence for this circulating blood-glucose account has also failed to replicate (e.g.…”

We develop a model of social pressure, based on the metabolic costs of information. • We propose that conformity regulates the predictability of social environments. • We suggest that the experience of obligation stems from anticipated uncertainty. • We integrate disparate theories of mental inference with an embodied account. • We discuss the emergent consequences of others' expectations motivating behavior.

Most people experience the feeling of mental fatigue on a daily basis. Previous research shows that mental fatigue impacts information processing and decision making. However, the proximal causes of mental fatigue are not yet well understood. In this research, we test the opportunity cost model of mental fatigue, which proposes that people become more fatigued when the next-best alternative to the current task is higher in value. In three preregistered experiments (total N = 300), participants repeatedly reported their current level of fatigue and chose to perform a paid labor task vs an unpaid leisure task. In Study 1, all participants were offered the same labor/leisure choice. In Studies 2 and 3, we manipulated the opportunity costs of a labor task through the value of an alternative leisure task. In all studies, we found that people were more likely to choose for leisure as they became more fatigued. We did not find that the manipulated leisure value influenced the amount of fatigue participants experienced nor the likelihood to choose for leisure. However, in exploratory analyses, we found (and replicated) that participants who reported to value the leisure task more got more fatigued during labor and less fatigued during leisure. Collectively, these results provide cautious support for the opportunity cost model, but they also show that cost-benefit analyses relating to labor and leisure tasks are fleeting.
