A Meta-Analysis Of The Effects Of Incentives On Response Rate In Online Survey Studies, Amal Muhammad Asire
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Meta-analysis was used to investigate the effect of incentives on response rates of web-based survey studies. Whereas numerous meta-analyses that address the effect of incentives on increasing response rates in survey studies are available in the literature, these analyses are based on mail surveys, so there is a need for an applied meta-analysis to examine the effect of incentives on response rates in online survey studies. A meta-analysis of an online method of survey administration was used because the use of online surveys has greatly increased, making web-based survey administration an important form of data collection in multiple fields of …

Meta-Analyses Of The Relationship Between Depression And Nine Dimensions Of Perfectionism, Gabriel Lynn Hottinger
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Perfectionism has been shown to be related to depression, but perfectionism is multidimensional. Some dimensions are related to positive psychological characteristics and outcomes and other dimensions are related to negative psychological characteristics and outcomes. This study reports results of nine meta-analyses performed to investigate the association between each of nine subscales of perfectionism and depression to determine which dimensions of perfectionism are most strongly associated with depression. The two subscales that were used from the Hewitt and Flett (1991b) Multidimensional Perfectionism scale were Self-Oriented Perfectionism (SOP) and Socially-Prescribed Perfectionism (SPP). The five subscales that were used from the Frost et …
