documents. After double entries were eliminated, there remained 2,014 unique documents.
Next, the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) was searched for the studiesthat cited either Coleman et al.'s (1966) or White's (1982) review, or both, because both of those publications have been highly cited in the literature on SES and aca- demic achievement. Through this process, an additional 170 articles that refer- enced White's study and 266 articles that referenced Coleman's report were identified. In addition, I received 27 leads from previous narrative reviews and from studies that had been identified through the initial search. In total, the final pool contained 2,477 unique documents.
After the initial examination of the abstracts of each study, I applied the inclu- sion criteria to select 201 articles for further examination. I made the final deci- sions for inclusion after examining the full articles. Through this process, I selected 58 published journal articles that satisfied the inclusion criteria.
Coding Procedure A formal coding form was developed for the current meta-analysis on the basis
of Stocket al.'s (1982) categories, which address both substantive and methodolog- ical characteristics: Report Identification, Setting, Subjects, Methodology, Treat- ment, Process, and Effect Size. To further refine the coding scheme, a subsample of the data (k = 10) was coded independently by two doctoral candidates. Rater agree- ment for the two coders was between .80 and 1.00 with a mean of 87%. The coders subsequently met to compare their results and discuss any discrepancies between their ratings until they reached an agreement upon a final score. The coding form was further refined on the basis of the results from this initial coding procedure. The final coding form included the following components:
1. The Ident$cation section codes basic study identifiers, such as the year of publication and the names and disciplines of the authors.
2. The School Setting section describes the schools in terms of location from which the data were gathered.
3 . The Student Characteristics section codes demographic information about study participants including grade, age, gender, and racelethnicity.
4. The Methodology section gathers information about the research methcdol- ogy used in the study, including the design, statistical techniques, as well as sampling procedures.
5 . The SES and Academic Achievement section records data about SES and aca- demic achievement measures.
6. The Effect Size (ES) section codes the statistics that are needed to calculate an effect size, such as correlation coefficients, means, standard deviations, t tests, F ratios, chi-squares, and degrees of freedom on outcome measurzs used in the study.
Interrater Agreement All studies were coded by the author. A doctoral student who helped design the
coding schema coded an additional random sample of 10 studies. Interrater agree- ment levels for the six coding categories ranged from 89% for the methodology - - - - - - -
section to 100% for the names of the coding form.
Analytical Procedures Calculating Average Effect Sizes
The effect size (ES) used in this review was Pearson's correlation coeflcient r. Because most results were reported as a correlation (k = 4 3 , the raw correlation coefficient was entered as the ES measure. There were 8 studies that did not orig- inally report correlations but provided enough information to calculate correlations usiig the formulas taken from Hedges and Olkin (1985), Rosenthal(1991), and Wolf (1986) to convert the study statistic to r. Correlations oversestimate the pop- ulation effect size because they are bounded at -1 or 1. As the correlation coeffi- cients approach -1 or 1, the distribution becomes more skewed. To address this problem, the correlations were converted into Fisher's Z score and weighted by the inverse of the variance to give greater weight to larger samples than smaller sarn- ples (Lipsey & Wilson, 2001). The average ESs were then obtained through a z-to-r transformation with confidence intervals to indicate the range within which the population mean was likely to fall in the observed data (Hedges & Olkin). The confidence interval for a mean ES is based on the standard error of the mean and a critical value from the z distribution (e.g., 1.96 for a = .05).
Statistical Independence There are two main altemative choices for the unit of analysis in meta-analysis
(Glass, McGaw, &Smith, 198 1). The first altemative is to use each study as the unit of analysis. The second approach is to treat each correlation as the unit of analysis. Both of these approaches have shortcomings. The former approach obscures legitimate dif- ferences across multiple comelations (i.e., the correlaaon for minority students versus the correlation for White students), while the latter approach gives too much weight to those studies that have multiple correlations (Lipsey & Wilson, 2001). A third alterna- tive, which was chosen for this study, is to use "a shifting unit of analysis" (Cooper, 1998). This approach retains most of the information from each study while avoiding any violations of statistical independence. According to this procedure, the average effect size was calculated by using the first alternative; that is, one correlation was selected from each independent sample. The same procedure was followed when the
, focus of analysis was a student characteristic (e.g., minority status, grade level, or f school location). For example, d a study provlded one correlation for White students
and another for Black students, the two were included as independent correlations in I the same analysis. The only exception to this rule was the moderation tests for the r methodological characteristic (e.g., the types of SES or academic achievement mea- t sure). For example, if a study provided one correlation based on parental education and 1 another based on parental occupation, they were both entered only when the modera- 1 tor analysis was for the type of SES measure. In both alternatives, there was only one 1 correlation from each study for each construct. When studies provided multiple corre- I lations for each subsample, or multiple correlations for each construct, they were aver- / aged so that the sample on which they were based contributed only one correlation to I any given analysis. Thus, in Tables 1 (page 424) and 2 (page 429), the correlation for
each study is the average correlation (r) for all constructs for that specific sample.
Fixed and Random Effects Models There is an ongoing discussion about whether one should use a fixed or random
effects model in meta-analysis (Cooper & Hedges, 1994; Hedges & Vevea, 1998).
