Sex Differences in Aggression in Real-World Settings: A Meta-Analytic Review
Meta-analytic reviews of sex differences in aggression from real-world settings are described. They cover self-reports, observations, peer reports, and teacher reports of overall direct, physical, verbal, and indirect forms of aggression, as well as (for self-reports) trait anger. Findings are related to sexual selection theory and social role theory. Direct, especially physical, aggression was...
متن کاملSimpson's paradox in meta-analysis.
To the Editor: Simpson's paradox is used in the teaching of epidemiology to dramatize the effects of confounding.

متن کاملSociocultural determinants of anticipated oral cholera vaccine acceptance in three African settings: a meta-analytic approach.
BACKGROUND Controlling cholera remains a significant challenge in Sub-Saharan Africa. In areas where access to safe water and sanitation are limited, oral cholera vaccine (OCV) can save lives. Establishment of a global stockpile for OCV reflects increasing priority for use of cholera vaccines in endemic settings. Community acceptance of vaccines, however, is critical and sociocultural features ...
متن کاملEvaluating time to cancer recurrence as a surrogate marker for survival from an information theory perspective.
The last two decades have seen a lot of development in the area of surrogate marker validation. One of these approaches places the evaluation in a meta-analytic framework, leading to definitions in terms of trial- and individual-level association. A drawback of this methodology is that different settings have led to different measures at the individual level. Using information theory, Alonso et...
متن کاملSome analytic results on the FPU paradox
We present some analytic results aiming at explaining the lack of thermalization observed by Fermi Pasta and Ulam in their celebrated numerical experiment. In particular we focus on results which persist as the number N of particles tends to infinity. After recalling the FPU experiment and some classical heuristic ideas that have been used for its explanation, we concentrate on more recent rigo...
