“…His suggestion was to conduct the analysis in stages. Additionally, Braver, and Braver (1988) proposed using meta-analysis also Sawilowsky and Markman (1988) and Sawilowsky, Kelley, Blair, and Markman (1994) supported this idea with their comments and contributions. According to the researchers meta-analysis demonstrated superior power of using meta-analytic techniques instead of customary analysis of using ANOVA (McGhee, 2009 (2000) utilized several different types of analysis concerning a series of hypothesis and also for comparison of Solomon groups Babbie"s suggestion is followed by paired samples t test.…”

Positive psychological capital has taken attention in the last decades considering today"s work conditions and employee expectations in gaining competitive advantage. There is growing evidence that positive psychological capital has contribution on employees" desired outcomes and provides a new perspective for understanding and potentially managing negative and stressful organizational circumstances. Recent theory and research have also proposed that positive psychological capital as a state-like construct is open to development and change. The immediate goal of the study is to design and implement a short positive psychological capital training program by following Luthans et al. (in their series of studies in 2006, 2008, & 2010) course of action and control its effectiveness by the Solomon four group experimental design which is one of the most powerful research designs available and rarely used especially for training programs. A sample of 156 management students participated to the training program. The findings of the current research will contribute to human resources development literature as well as to Solomon experimental design application.

“…To accurately analyze the PASAT scores with a Solomon fourgroup design a meta-analytic approach, outlined by Walton Braver and Braver, 12 was utilized. To determine if there was a practice effect, a 2×2 ANOVA was run with the between factors being the treatment (MP vs. placebo telephone exposure) and pre-test (pre-test vs. no pre-test).…”

CitationThese results indicate that 15 minutes of exposure to an MP-EMF does not produce a statistically significant effect on human brain bioelectric activity at the T3 location. While the PASAT scores also indicate no effect on cognitive functions from MP-EMF exposure, many confounding factors, like the sensitivity and the time of the administration of the PASAT and duration of MP-EMF exposure, may have influenced the statistics. Further research controlling for these factors is suggested.

“…The strategy of analysis was modified from the Braver and Braver algorithm (Braver, 1988) for testing the independent effects of the pretest and the intervention in the Solomon four-group design. A 2 (Group: Intervention, Control) x 2 (Condition: Pretest assessment, no pretest assessment) of the four posttest scores, and on interaction term between Group x Condition, was constructed for testing those effects.…”

Background: A school-based smoke free home (SFH) program is useful in empowering the mother and child to reduce secondhand smoke exposure but the effects of pretesting on knowledge and attitude has been largely ignored. We aimed to test whether such a program can be effective in Southern Thailand with an additional assessment of the net effect of the pretest. Materials and Methods: A Solomon four-group design was used. Twelve rural primary schools were assigned to one of the four conditions (each with 3 schools): intervention with and without a pretest, control with and without the same pretest. The intervention was performed in the classroom and home over a period of 1 month. Outcomes were assessed at baseline and 3 months after the intervention on whether the home was smoke free and related knowledge and attitude. Results: The intervention could lead to a smoke-free home without statistical significance. Attitude, knowledge and self-confidence on creating a smoke-free home, and self-confidence in avoidance of secondhand smoke exposure and persuading smokers to not smoke in their home were significantly improved. No pretest effect was observed. Conclusions: Gain in attitude, knowledge and self-confidence among family members from the brief school-based education should be enhanced by other measures.
