Methods of Meta-Analysis
Correcting Error and Bias in Research Findings Second Edition John E. Hunter, Michigan State University Frank L. Schmidt, University of Iowa, Iowa City Meta-analysis is arguably the most important methodological innovation in the social and behavioral sciences in the last 25 years. Developed to offer researchers an informative account of which methods are most useful in integrating research ndings across studies, this book enables the reader to apply, as well as understand, meta-analytic methods. Rather than taking an encyclopedic approach, the authors focus on carefully developing those techniques that are most applicable to social science research, and give a general conceptual description of more complex and rarely-used techniques. Fully revised and updated, Methods of Meta-Analysis, Second Edition is the most comprehensive text on meta-analysis available today. CONTENTS

Barbara Heyl, Illinois State University Presenting topics in the form of questions and answers, this popular supplemental text offers a brief introduction on multiple regression on a conceptual level. Author Paul D. Allison answers the most essential questions (such as how to read and interpret multiple regression tables and how to critique multiple regression results) in the early chapters, and then tackles the less important ones (for instance, those arising from multicollinearity) in the later chapters. CONTENTS

How Is Multiple Regression Related to Other Statistical Techniques?
Multiple Regression
Testing and Interpreting Interactions Leona S. Aiken and Stephen G. West, Arizona State University Researchers in a variety of disciplines frequently encounter problems in which interactions are predicted between two or more continuous variables. However, the current literature regarding how to analyze, interpret, and present interactions in multiple regression has been confusing. In this comprehensive volume, Leona S. Aiken and Stephen G. West provide academicians and researchers with a clear set of prescriptions for estimating, testing, and probing interactions in regression models. Including the latest research in the area, such as Fullers work on the corrected/constrained estimator, the book is appropriate for anyone who uses multiple regression to estimate models or for those enrolled in courses on multivariate statistics. CONTENTS
1. Introduction 2. Interactions between Continuous Predictors in Multiple Regression 3. The Effects of Predictor Scaling on Coefcients of Regression Equations 4. Testing and Probing Three-Way Interactions 5. Structuring Regression Equations to Reect Higher Order Relationships 6. Model and Effect Testing with Higher Order Terms 7.

Regression Models for Categorical and Limited Dependent Variables

J. Scott Long, Indiana University, Bloomington J. Scott Longs book gives readers unied treatment of the most useful models for categorical and limited dependent variables (CLDVs). Throughout the book, the links among models are made explicit, and common methods of derivation, interpretation, and testing are applied. In addition, Long explains how models relate to linear regression models whenever possible. In order for the reader to see how these models can be applied, Long illustrates each model with data from a variety of applications, ranging from attitudes toward working mothers to scientic productivity.

Evaluation Roots
Tracing Theorists Views and Inuences Marvin C. Alkin, University of California, Los Angeles Evaluation Roots: Tracing Theorists Views and Inuences examines current evaluation theories and traces their evolution within the framework of theories building upon theories and how evaluation theories are related to each other. Initially, all evaluation was derived from social science research methodology and accountability concerns. The way in which these evaluation roots grew to form a tree helps to provide a better understanding of evaluation theory. Thus, the book uses an evaluation theory tree as its central metaphor. Author Marvin C. Alkin posits that evaluation theories can be classied by the extent to which they focus on methods, uses, or valuing; these three approaches form the major limbs of the tree.
