Investigation of Resilience in Terms of Gender: A Meta-Analysis Study
Abstract
The present study aims to examine resilience in terms of gender via the meta-analysis method. Postgraduate theses have been written on resilience in Turkey in 2019 were examined for this purpose. Higher Education Council National Thesis Center was scanned on the internet to reach theses. Fifty seven postgraduate theses that examined resilience by gender and which contain the necessary statistical information were reached and 61 effect sizes were calculated from these theses. The sample of this meta-analysis study included a total of 26193 participants, 14593 women (55.71%) - 11600 men (44.28%). The effect size of endurance by gender was determined by Cohen’s d analysis (Standardized Means Difference). Funnel Plot, Duval-Tweedie's Trim-Fill Method and Egger's regression test showed no publication bias in meta-analysis. The effect sizes show a heterogeneous distribution in this meta-analysis (Q = 220.37, p = 0.000, I² = 72.773). The findings of the research showed a negligible and statistically insignificant effect size in favor of women according to the random-effects model (d = 0.023, [-0.028; 0.075], p > .05). Based on these findings, it can be said that the resilience levels of women and men are equal. Research results were discussed within the framework of the literature. It is presented the limitation of study and some suggestions for future research.
