  1. k, number of samples; n, sample size across k; ρ c, weighted mean meta-correlation after correcting for measurement unreliability; Z-dif, tests whether ρ c’s are significantly different from each other. Bold values indicate the stronger of the two ρ c’s for the correlate. a P <0.05; b P <0.001, two-tailed.
