Abstract
In recent years, the importance of meta-analyses has been highlighted within the context of evidence-based practice. The reproducibility and replicability of meta-analyses have become critical areas of research due to the inherent complexity in data extraction and analysis. Conducting a meta-analysis involves a series of methodological decisions and steps that can significantly influence the final results.
This study aims to assess the reproducibility and replicability of meta-analyses related to the effectiveness of psychological interventions.
The reproducibility and replicability of the results of 8 randomly selected meta-analyses were empirically evaluated from a pool of 100 meta-analyses published on the effectiveness of psychological interventions.
Statistical data were extracted from individual studies, effect sizes for each individual study were calculated, meta-analytic computations were performed, and the results were compared with those of the original meta-analyses.
The potential implications of errors and inconsistencies in this process are analyzed.
