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 is broadly concerned with how people perceive and judge themselves, their futures, and their social environments. I am specifically interested in how social comparisons play into such perceptions and how the immediate and broader social context influences psychological processes underlying social judgments. Additionally, I am interested in how various aspects of personality shape social perception. My work increasingly examines how these aspects of socal perception and personality shape "green" behavior, that is to say ecologically friendly and sustainability oriented actions.

SYNTHESIZER: An Unbiased Fixed-Effects Meta-Analytic Tool. [Krizan & Bonett ©2009].
We are currently developing a user-friendly meta-analytic tool using Excel that uses a new, unweighted least squares fixed-effects approach that
overcomes problems with traditional fixed and random-effects models (see Bonett, 2008). This tool will be free to researchers, will enable aggregation
of both correlations and standardized mean differences, and accurate estimation of parameters obtained under conditions of statistical dependancy. It
will laso allow testing of moderating factors via construction of differences in correlations, and associated confidence intervals. Finally, it will perfrom
Reliability Generalization (i.e., meta-analysis of alpha and testing of respective moderating factors).
