psychbull-theory-integration

separate

Use when turning the synthesis results of a Psychological Bulletin manuscript into a genuine theoretical contribution — reconciling conflicting findings, building or refining a model, and stating scope conditions and a research agenda. Makes the synthesis matter; it does not run the analysis.

When to use

• reconciling conflicting findings
• building or refining a theoretical model
• stating scope conditions
• setting a research agenda
• interpreting pooled effects and moderators
• calibrating claims to evidence

When not to use

• running the analysis
• purely new theory with no synthesis
• methods-only meta-analysis
• results dump with no interpretive payoff
