How to Do Meta-Analysis with SPSS?

In this study, it is aimed to introduce the steps that need to be followed in a meta-analysis study and the macros (MEANES, METAF and METAREG) which enable analysis of the meta-analysis in the SPSS program. In this respect, the necessary hardware features for SPSS and macros, access to the program, execution of the macros, details of the analyses and output files were emphasized. In addition, sample applications have been demonstrated using a simulated data set containing 30 studies, where the correlation coefficient is considered to be the effect size. Mean effect size value calculation, subgroup analysis and meta-regression analysis were performed using the same data set in three different SPSS macros. Based on the results obtained, the findings and interpretations which should be obtained for different types of analysis were emphasized. As a result of the study, it was attempted to give preliminary information about SPSS macros and the advantages and disadvantages of macros were discussed
