On the Use of Beta Coefficients in Meta-Analysis.

Abstract: This research reports an investigation of the use of standardized regression (beta) coefficients in meta-analyses that use correlation coefficients as the effect-size metric. The investigation consisted of analyzing more than 1,700 corresponding beta coefficients and correlation coefficients harvested from published studies. Results indicate that, under certain conditions, using knowledge of corresponding beta coefficients to input missing correlations (effect sizes) generally produces relatively accurate and … Show more

“…contacted authors to obtain bivariate data. However, because it has been demonstrated that r can be accurately estimated from ␤-coefficients in multiple regression, even when covariates are present, we estimated r in one case (i.e., 19) using the formula r ϭ 0.98␤ ϩ 0.05, where is an indicator variable that equals 1 when ␤ is nonnegative and 0 when ␤ is negative (20).…”

“…We also included two studies which provided only standardized regression coefficients, following the method in Peterson and Brown (2005). Additionally, we incorporated studies reporting odds ratios (OR) or risk ratios (the latter were transformed into OR using the formula in Howell, 2006), in line with Darr and Johns (2008).…”

“…When such effect size information is missing, primary studies have to report sufficient statistics to allow the conversion into effect sizes. We applied Lipsey and Wilson's (2001) and Peterson and Brown's (2005) methods to complete effect size conversions. Third, primary studies must use real employee samples.…”
