标题：Investigating the marital satisfaction in terms of gender: A meta-analysis study Evlilik doyumunun cinsiyet açısından incelenmesi: Bir meta-analiz çalışması
摘要：The purpose of this research is to apply a meta-analysis to determine whether there is a difference in marital satisfaction according to gender. For this purpose, 64 thesis about the subject of marriage satisfaction was reached from the databases of National Thesis Center of the Council of Higher Education. Theses included 27 theses with gender variables and data that correspond to the coding protocol. The sample of the study consisted of a total of 6,755 people including 3418 female (50,6%) and 3337 male (49,4%). The effect size of marriage satisfaction by sex was determined by using the Standardized Mean Difference (SMD) analysis method known as Cohen’s d in the literature. As a result of Egger's Regression Test, Orwin's Fail-Safe N, Duval and Tweedie's Trim and Fill method and funnel graph, it was determined that there was no publication bias in the research. In the study, a negligible effect size in favour of male was found both the fixed effects model and random effects models (Fixed: d = -0.12 Random: d = -0.08) and the study was heterogeneous (Q = 94.83, p = 0.00, I2 = 72, 58). The findings of the research were discussed in the context of the relevant field and some suggestions were presented.
