| Summary: | Meta-analysis is a method of quantitatively summarizing findings from different studies and has mainly been employed in experimentally oriented disciplines. A major problem of meta-analysis in sociology is that studies rarely employ experimental designs with randomization which preclude distorting influences. This article discusses the applicability of meta-analyses in sociology and advocates conducting meta-analyses of original data. Three examples from divorce research are given. Meta-analyses of original data offer numerous advantages, most notably allowing the use of model specifications and evaluation concepts across different sets of data. The limitations of this method are that it requires a laborious harmonization of data and that it restricts the variables that can be used and thus the theoretical processes that can be examined. |
