Research Integration: An Essential for Military Psychological Research

Abstract

This article encourages military psychologists to learn about and apply nontraditional (quantitative) approaches to research integration in topical areas of interest to military psychology. Various research integration approaches (literary, vote-counting, combining significance levels, and meta- analytic) are summarized. Also discussed are the advantages of meta-analytic approaches to research integration as well as some of the problems posed by the use of such quantitative procedures. Implications for military psychology include more complete reporting of research results, integration of research in areas of interest to military psychologists, and identification of research gaps. Cross-service collaborative efforts are urged to accomplish the research integration step and to plan programmatic research to fill the gaps in our cumulative knowledge.
