[R-meta] Effect Sizes and Beta Coefficients

[Hall, Rebecca]

Dear all,

I have a question regarding the use of a beta coefficient as a substitute for effect size where a paper lacks statistical data for Pearson's r to otherwise be calculated.

Peterson & Brown (2005) support the use of standardised beta coefficients and relative SE in the place of correlations, but Roth et al. (2018) criticise this. I'm therefore wondering whether there is a general consensus regarding the use of beta coefficients, and should Peterson & Brown's approach no longer be appropriate then I would be gladly advised on the alternative method that should be utilised.

Many thanks,
Rebecca
