Mapping Methodological Variation in Experience-Sampling Research From Design to Data Analysis: A Systematic Review
The experience-sampling method (ESM) has become a widespread tool to study time-varying constructs across many subfields of psychological and psychiatric research. Variety in subfields of research and constructs of interest has contributed to considerable methodological variation. Therefore, in this systematic review, we aimed to (a) describe the methodological variation in ESM-study designs and (b) assess the transparency (i.e., reporting and op…
“Robust” but Tiny: Methodological Influences and Inter-Individual (Un)Stability of the Serial Order Effect in Creativity
The serial order effect (SOE), i.e., the tendency for the creative quality of ideas to increase with increasing response position, has been widely documented in divergent thinking (DT) research. However, its magnitude is hardly reported, and its sensitivity to methodological effects (e.g., DT task used, scoring method) has rarely been investigated. More critically, the stability of inter-individual differences in SOE has not been investigated to …
The Relationship Between Personality and Flow: A Meta‐Analysis
OBJECTIVE: This meta-analysis explores the relationship between Big Five personality traits and flow. It also examines the moderating roles of demographic factors (i.e., gender and age), cultural differences, contextual variations, flow dimensions, and the instruments used to assess personality and flow. METHOD: A systematic search was conducted across ProQuest, Scopus, and Web of Science, identifying 24 eligible studies reporting associations be…
NR3C1 Methylation and Perceived Parenting as Joint Predictors of the Development of Loneliness in Adolescence
INTRODUCTION: Adolescents who perceive low levels of parental support or high levels of parental psychological control are at increased risk for developing loneliness. However, the association between parenting experiences and loneliness varies among adolescents. This study examined whether higher levels of DNA methylation in the glucocorticoid receptor gene (NR3C1), a gene directly involved in stress-reactivity, moderated the association between…
Factor Retention in Exploratory Multidimensional Item Response Theory
Multidimensional Item Response Theory (MIRT) is applied routinely in developing educational and psychological assessment tools, for instance, for exploring multidimensional structures of items using exploratory MIRT. A critical decision in exploratory MIRT analyses is the number of factors to retain. Unfortunately, the comparative properties of statistical methods and innovative Machine Learning (ML) methods for factor retention in exploratory MI…
A Cross-Country Comparison of School-Based Social Capital Effects upon Reading Literacy Based on Pisa Data
Addressing the gap in cross-cultural understanding of school-based social capital, this study examines its effects on student reading literacy across 14 economies using PISA 2009 data, selected for Parent Questionnaire availability. A two-stage analysis involved country-specific two-level hierarchical linear models (HLM) controlling for demographics, followed by meta-analysis to assess effect heterogeneity and overall patterns for indicators like…
The uniquely powerful impact of explicit, blatant dehumanization on support for intergroup violence
To effectively address support for intergroup violence, we must understand the psychology promoting it. Dehumanization -the explicit and blatant denial of an outgroup's humanity-is widely considered one such promoter, which has informed extensive research and practice on support for intergroup violence. Nonetheless, dehumanization is often intertwined with intense dislike , raising concerns that dehumanization's explanatory power is much more res…
Meta‐Analysis of Pisa Creative Thinking Assessment Data: A Guide for Creativity Researchers
Interest in understanding creativity through Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) data is on the rise, yet researchers face methodological challenges in synthesizing findings across various constructs, measures, and datasets. Meta‐analysis—a valuable methodology for synthesizing quantitative data—remains underutilized in creativity research involving large‐scale assessments like PISA. This paper provides guidelines for applying m…

Cumulative family stress and externalizing problems: Secure base script knowledge as a protective factor
The current study examined whether secure base script knowledge can buffer against higher concurrent externalizing problems and against relative increases in externalizing problems associated with cumulative family stress. We conducted a one-year longitudinal study with two waves between 2017 and 2019 in which 272 Dutch-speaking Western European children from Flanders (47.8% boys, Mage=10.20,SDage=0.60) participated. Secure base script knowledge …
The effectiveness of Tier 1 digital interventions for early reading: A meta‐analysis
Reading is a fundamental skill to acquire during children's school career. The present meta‐analysis examined research on the effectiveness of digital technologies to foster early reading skills during Tier‐1 interventions (ie, high‐quality core reading instruction which is intended to promote learning for all children). Unlike previous meta‐analyses, this meta‐analysis investigated the effectiveness in a broad way, taking into account cognitive …
Perceived Parental Support and Psychological Control, DNA Methylation, and Loneliness: Longitudinal Associations Across Early Adolescence
Text Mining to Alleviate the Cold-Start Problem of Adaptive Comparative Judgments
Comparative judgments permit the assessment of open-ended student works by constructing a latent quality scale through repeated pairwise comparisons (i.e., which works “win” or “lose”). Adaptive comparative judgments speed up the judgment process by maximizing the Fisher information of the next comparison. However, at the start of a judgment process, such an adaptive algorithm will not perform well. In order to reliably approximate the Fisher Inf…

The effect of a school-based creative expression program on immigrant and refugee children’s mental health and classroom social relationships: A cluster randomized trial in elementary school
97). This effect was moderated by children's refugee background, indicating a differential effect in which refugee children show more reduction of trauma symptoms as compared to nonrefugee immigrant children. The intervention supported classroom climate and alleviated posttraumatic stress in children with increased posttraumatic symptomatology. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
A Meta-analysis of the Relative Effectiveness of the Item Count Technique Compared to Direct Questioning
This article presents an updated meta-analysis of survey experiments comparing the performance of the item count technique (ICT) and the direct questioning method. After synthesizing 246 effect sizes from 54 studies, we find that the probability that a sensitive item will be selected is .089 higher when using ICT compared to direct questioning. In recognition of the heterogeneity across studies, we seek to explain this variation by means of moder…
Detecting Selection Bias in Meta-Analyses with Multiple Outcomes: A Simulation Study
This study explores the performance of classical methods for detecting publication bias—namely, Egger’s regression test, Funnel Plot test, Begg’s Rank Correlation and Trim and Fill method—in meta-analysis of studies that report multiple effects. Publication bias, outcome reporting bias, and a combination of these were generated. Egger’s regression test and the Funnel Plot test were extended to three-level models, and possible cutoffs for the esti…
The effect of adaptivity in digital learning technologies. Modelling learning efficiency using data from an educational game
During the last decade, many governments and ed‐tech companies have demonstrated an increased interest in digital personalised learning, which resulted in a variety of often game‐like adaptive learning environments. However, there has been limited attention for the impact of these personalised learning technologies on children's learning efficiency. Does digital personalised learning, like popular claims insist, foster learning in young children?…
Testing conditions and creative performance: Meta-analyses of the impact of time limits and instructions
This study attempts to clarify the effects of varying testing conditions on creative performance in divergent thinking and product-based tasks. Two meta-analyses, one for time limits (short vs. long) and one for instructions (standard vs. explicit), were conducted. Moderator analyses were performed to examine whether the effects of time limits and instructions differ by measurement method, domain of creative performance, gender, study's country o…

Perspective taking, empathic concern, agreeableness, and parental support: Transactional associations across adolescence
INTRODUCTION: Empathy consists of a cognitive and an affective component, of which it is thought that there are gender differences. Previous studies also suggest that maternal and paternal support play a more prominent role in the development of an adolescent's affective and cognitive empathy, respectively. Besides the environmental factor, that is parenting, adolescent personality, and more specifically, agreeableness, is closely linked to both …
A SNP , Gene, and Polygenic Risk Score Approach of Oxytocin‐Vasopressin Genes in Adolescents’ Loneliness
Not much is known regarding underlying biological pathways to adolescents’ loneliness. Insight in underlying molecular mechanisms could inform intervention efforts aimed at reducing loneliness. Using latent growth curve modeling, baseline levels and development of loneliness were studied in two longitudinal adolescent samples. Genes ( OXTR , OXT , AVPR 1A , AVPR 1B ) were examined using SNP ‐based, gene‐based, and polygenic risk score ( PRS ) app…
The relation between short-term emotion dynamics and psychological well-being: A meta-analysis
Not only how good or bad people feel on average, but also how their feelings fluctuate across time is crucial for psychological health. The last 2 decades have witnessed a surge in research linking various patterns of short-term emotional change to adaptive or maladaptive psychological functioning, often with conflicting results. A meta-analysis was performed to identify consistent relationships between patterns of short-term emotion dynamics-inc…

Loneliness and social anxiety across childhood and adolescence: Multilevel meta-analyses of cross-sectional and longitudinal associations
Social relationships are of vital importance for children's and adolescents' development, and disruptions in these relationships can have serious implications. Such disruptions play a central role in both loneliness and social anxiety. Although both phenomena are closely related, they have largely been studied separately, and important questions have remained unanswered concerning how both go together within and across time. Multilevel meta-analy…
Enjoying mathematics or feeling competent in mathematics? Reciprocal effects on mathematics achievement and perceived math effort expenditure
BackgroundThe multidimensionality of the academic self-concept in terms of domain specificity has been well established in previous studies, whereas its multidimensionality in terms of motivational functions (the so-called affect-competence separation) needs further examination.AimThis study aims at exploring differential effects of enjoyment and competence beliefs on two external validity criteria in the field of mathematics.SampleData analysed …
Emotion fingerprints or emotion populations? A meta-analytic investigation of autonomic features of emotion categories
The classical view of emotion hypothesizes that certain emotion categories have a specific autonomic nervous system (ANS) "fingerprint" that is distinct from other categories. Substantial ANS variation within a category is presumed to be epiphenomenal. The theory of constructed emotion hypothesizes that an emotion category is a population of context-specific, highly variable instances that need not share an ANS fingerprint. Instead, ANS variation…
Behavioral Engagement, Peer Status, and Teacher–Student Relationships in Adolescence: A Longitudinal Study on Reciprocal Influences
Mechanisms of masked priming: A meta-analysis
The extent to which unconscious information can influence behavior has been a topic of considerable debate throughout the history of psychology. A frequently used method for studying subliminal processing is the masked priming paradigm. The authors focused on studies in which this paradigm was used. Their aim was twofold: first, to assess the magnitude of subliminal priming across the literature and to determine whether subliminal primes are proc…

Methods for dealing with multiple outcomes in meta-analysis: A comparison between averaging effect sizes, robust variance estimation and multilevel meta-analysis
This study investigates three methods to handle dependency among effect size estimates in meta-analysis arising from studies reporting multiple outcome measures taken on the same sample. The three-level approach is compared with the method of robust variance estimation, and with averaging effects within studies. A simulation study is performed, and the fixed and random effect estimates of the three methods are compared with each other. Both the r…
Parenting and externalizing problem behavior in adolescence: Combining the strengths of variable-centered and person-centered approaches
Previous studies often assumed that parenting practices are similar across families. This assumption is difficult to hold, especially throughout adolescence, a period of major change for both adolescents and their parents. By combining a person-centered and a variable-centered approach, the present study adds to the literature by identifying trajectory classes in parenting behaviors and assessing their associations with externalizing problem beha…
School processes mediate school compositional effects: Model specification and estimation
School composition effects have been consistently verified, but few studies ever attempted to study how school composition affects school achievement. Based on prior research findings, we employed multilevel mediation modeling to examine whether school processes mediate the effect of school composition upon school outcomes based on the data of 28 OECD countries in PISA 2003. These school process factors include school resources, opportunity to le…

Disentangling instructional roles: The case of teaching and summative assessment
While in some higher education contexts a separation of teaching and summative assessment is assumed to be self-evident, in other contexts the opposite is regarded to be obvious. In this article the different arguments supporting either position are analyzed. Based on a systematic literature review, arguments for and against are classified at the micro-, meso- and macro-level. Articles specifically discuss the way in which making use of an extern…

Global processing takes time: A meta-analysis on local–global visual processing in ASD
What does an individual with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) perceive first: the forest or the trees? In spite of 30 years of research and influential theories like the weak central coherence (WCC) theory and the enhanced perceptual functioning (EPF) account, the interplay of local and global visual processing in ASD remains only partly understood. Research findings vary in indicating a local processing bias or a global processing deficit, and oft…

Equality Revisited: A Cultural Meta-Analysis of Intergroup Contact and Prejudice
Across cultures, intergroup contact—interpersonal interaction with out-group members—is associated with less prejudice. Contact research was criticized, however, for bypassing intergroup inequality in the wider society. We propose a cultural psychology approach grounding people’s contact experiences in culturally afforded ways of relating to out-groups. Extending Allport’s equal-status hypothesis to the culture level, we hypothesized that the con…
