My name is Zlatan Krizan, and this is my website. Here You can find the latest information on my work, publications, presentations, and statistical tools.
Research within my laboratory focuses on basic social, emotional, and motivational processes relevant to understanding ourselves and the world we live in. Topics of particular interest involve regulation of self-image and self-esteem as a function of social comparison and personality, motivational biases in social perception, and the role that emotions and biology play in our sense of self and behavior. This research draws on experimental methods, longitudinal methods, and statistical theory (e.g.,meta-analysis)
I am also interested in cooking, playing drums and percussion, yoga, DJing, producing music, summers, meditative techniques, exercise, politics, freediving, dancing, seafood, ice cream, and awkward situations (although not necessarily in that order).

SYNTHESIZER: A Varying Coefficient Meta-Analytic Tool [Z. Krizan (c) 2010].
I have released a user-friendly meta-analytic tool using Excel that employs newly developed methods based
on varying coefficient models (using unweighted least squares) that overcomes problems with the traditional fixed-effects
and random-effects models (see Bonett, 2008, 2009). This tool, which is free to researchers, can compute accurate confidence
intervals for aggregated correlations, standardized mean differences, and alpha reliability coefficients. It also provides confidence intervals for moderator effects.
