Note(s):

k = Number of independent samples; n = sample size; r¯0 = uncorrected sample-size-weighted mean correlation; SDr = sample-size-weighted standard deviation of observed mean correlations; ρ = corrected sample-size-weighted mean correlation; SDρ = sample-size-weighted standard deviation of corrected mean correlations; CI LL and CI UL = lower and upper bounds of corrected 95% confidence interval; z-test was used to evaluate the statistical significance of between-group difference in effect sizes
