Abstract: | A longitudinal meta-analysis of participation-outcome research revealed apparent relationship between societal issues in the U. S. and the questions asked by American researchers, the methods used to perform research, and the magnitudes of reported effects in the first of three studies presented. The second and third studies suggest the existence of a relationship between researchers' social attitudes and the conduct of participation-outcome research. These results suggest that societal trends have affected the conduct of participation research. |
