To investigate whether adolescents approve of disobedience or lying in response to rules that restrict behavior based on gender, 89 younger (M[subscript age] = 11.74) and older (M[subscript age] = 16.67) adolescents and emerging adults (M[subscript age] = 19.97) judged vignettes wherein a child prefers an activity, but the child's parents indicate…

Background: Individual patient data (IPD) meta-analysis allows for the exploration of heterogeneity and can identify subgroups that most benefit from an intervention (or exposure), much more successfully than meta-analysis of aggregate data. One-stage or two-stage IPD meta-analysis is possible, with the former using mixed-effects regression models…
