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.
My research focuses on two broad aspects unique to being human; our ability to see ourselves as different from others, and our capacity to project ourselves through time. Both of these potentials create unique problems for our functioning, and my research examines how we deal with these challenges. My laboratory aims to integrate insights from both personality and social psychology, and to capitalize on meta-analytic techniques as means toward accomplishing this goal.
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 just 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.
