“…Only studies that included data suitable for calculating a bivariate Pearson correlation coefficient were appropriate for the meta‐analysis. As a result, two cross‐sectional studies (Taşkale & Soygüt, 2017; Yoosefi, Etemadi, Bahrami, Fatehizade, & Ahmadi, 2010) were excluded from the meta‐analysis due to having categorical dependent variables. A further one experimental study (Tilden, Gude, & Hoffart, 2010) and four cross‐sectional studies were removed from the analysis due to being unable to obtain the Pearson bivariate correlation coefficients (Ball & Cecero, 2001; Figueredo et al, 2018; Nemati, 1996; Tezel, Kişlak, & Boysan, 2015).…”
