Abstract
The Evidence-Based Practice approach is based on the use of scientific
research in decision-making in an effort to produce the best possible
services in clinical practice. The knowledge level about effect size
statistics and meta-analysis studies may affect the decision soft
professionals and jeopardize the quality of psychological interventions.
This paper presents the result so fan on-line survey on the degree of
knowledge of these topics among Spanish practitioner psychologists. The
sample consisted of 77 participants (68.8% women and 31.2% men), with a mean
age of 41.44 years (SD=9.42), with age range of 25-64 years. The results
suggest that most of the psychologists survey eddid not have adequate
knowledge about effect size index, meta-analysis studies, or methodological
quality checklists. It is therefore necessary to improve the statistical
education of practitioner psychologists, which might also contribute to
their provement of professional practice.
