Abstract:
Previous studies have reported controversial results about the association between rs6296 and alcoholism. Thus, a meta-analysis was performed to further explore this association. A comprehensive search was conducted to identify relevant case-control or cohort studies (up to December 1, 2017). A fixed- or random-effect model was selected as a pooling method depending on the heterogeneity among studies. The heterogeneity was measured by Q test and I statistic. The Harbord and Peters test was used to estimate publication bias. Fifteen English articles with 16 outcomes and 5,429 participants were included in this meta-analysis. A fixed-effect model was chosen, and the pooled result showed that rs6296 was not related to alcoholism (z = 1.93, p = .053). The Harbord and Peters test showed that there was no publication bias. This meta-analysis indicated that rs6296 may be not be significantly associated with alcoholism, which needs to be further confirmed by future research.

One of the core constructs in social psychology is the notion of an attitude toward an object or person. Traditionally, psychologists measured attitudes by simply asking people to self-report their beliefs, opinions, or feelings. This approach has limitations, however, when measuring socially sensitive attitudes, like racial prejudice, because people are often motivated to self-report unprejudiced, egalitarian beliefs (despite...
