Abstract Interest in the relationship between adult attachment and mindfulness has mushroomed over the past decade. Yet the associations between adult attachment and mindfulness related to mental health is less understood. This article provides a systematic research synthesis to elucidate the relationship between adult attachment, mindfulness, and mental health. Findings from 10 empirical articles identified that anxious and avoidant attachment and mindfulness together related to depression, anxiety, psychological functioning, and cortisol response. The effects of adult attachment and mindfulness on mental health is an exciting area for research and practice that can be advanced by the inclusion of key romantic relationship processes and partners within longitudinal or experimental study designs.

This chapter discusses the initiation of the process of systematic research synthesis. Without a systematic approach to defining, obtaining, and collating data, meta-analyses may yield precise but erroneous results, with different types of sampling error (biases) and excess subjectivity in choice of methods and definition of thresholds; these devalue the rigor of any statistical approaches employed. The chapter considers exactly the same issues that face an ecologist designing a field experiment. What's the question? How can I define my sampling universe? How should I collect my data? What analyses should I undertake? How should I interpret my results robustly? These questions are considered in the context of research synthesis.

Durante más de tres décadas, las estrategias de enseñanza de idiomas basada en tareas han constituido un objeto de investigación en el campo de la adquisición de segundas lenguas. Sin embargo, un enfoque TBLT se ha adoptado plenamente en algunas partes del mundo, pero no en otras. A pesar de que han existido revisiones sistemáticas y meta análisis previos que investigan la implementación de la metodología TBLT, todavía existe la necesidad de una síntesis de los efectos de tareas comunicativas en la producción oral. Este articulo proporciona una síntesis de investigación sistemática de diferentes intervenciones TBLT sobre la producción oral. En total, 61 estudios publicados fueron extraídos, codificados y analizados siguiendo los procedimientos de codificación establecidos para las revisiones sistemáticas. Además, también se realizó un estudio meta analítico de 11 investigaciones con el objetivo de determinar los efectos generales de la aplicación de una estrategia oral TBLT como tratamiento en diferentes contextos. Los resultados revelaron un efecto mediano-grande de Cohen’s (d=0,78) para las intervenciones holísticas de TBLT en la producción oral. La síntesis de datos cualitativos y cuantitativos también revelo un impacto positivo de la técnica de repetición de las tareas en un lapso de tiempo y la planificación previa a las tareas para mejorar la complejidad lingüística, la precisión y la dimensión de fluidez de la expresión oral. El estudio concluye con implicaciones para la implementación de una estrategia TBLT en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de lenguas extranjeras.

<p>Artikkelen presenterer The Campbell Collaboration og skisserer organisasjonens aktiviteter siden 2008, da organisasjonens sekretariat ble flyttet til Nasjonalt kunnskapssenter for helsetjenesten i Oslo. Hovedfokuset for The Campbell Collaboration er produksjon av systematiske oversikter som del av en bredere innsats for å fremme kunnskapsbasert sosialpolitikk. Artikkelen omtaler trender i nyere oversikter og eksempler på tema og inklusjonskriterier for primærstudier. Artikkelen konkluderer med at en utvikling i retning av kunnskapsbasert praksis både er viktig og mulig, men at dette er avhengig av at det skapes større plass i Norge og internasjonalt for kvantitativ forskning, for systematiske forskningssynteser, og for møteplasser mellom praksis og forskning.</p><p>Noonan E. <strong>The Campbell Collaboration – contributing to evidence informed social policies</strong>. <em>Nor J Epidemiol</em> 2013; <strong>23</strong> (2): 177-180.</p><p><strong>ENGLISH SUMMARY </strong></p><p>This article presents the Campbell Collaboration and outlines the body’s activities since 2008, when its secretariat was relocated to the Norwegian Knowledge Centre for the Health Services in Oslo. The main focus of the the Campbell Collaboration is the production of systematic reviews, as part of a broader engagement for the promotion of evidence-based social policy. The article considers trends in recent reviews on matters such as choice of subject and inclusion criteria for primary studies. The concluding section suggests that the development of evidence-based practice is both important and possible. However, progress depends on creating more space both in Norway and internationally for quantitative research, for systematic research synthesis, and for enhanced dialogue between researchers and practitioners</p>
