Meta-analysis is a statistical technique employed to draw conclusions based on multiple studies, aiming to synthesize the results of various investigations and derive conclusions from these aggregated findings. While international literature demonstrates the application of meta-analysis in sociological research, such a practice is not commonly observed within Croatian sociology. Thus, the objective of this master's thesis is to examine the potential applicability of meta-analysis in Croatian sociology. Specifically, this study seeks to analyze whether Croatian scientific works in the field of sociology encompass a sufficient quantity of pertinent information, thereby fulfilling the prerequisites necessary for the implementation of meta-analysis. One may question why meta-analysis is not utilized in our sociological research. Are the reasons insufficiently developed methodology, failure to meet the prerequisites for meta-analysis, or perhaps something else? Meta-analysis, as a statistical analysis, can contribute to the study of social changes by identifying sources of heterogeneity and uncovering variations among different studies. It enables easier tracking of trends in results on a particular topic. The thesis explains the concept of sociology, provides a brief overview of the history of Croatian sociology's development, elucidates the characteristics of the methodological paradigm suitable for meta-analysis application, and presents a literature review on the use of meta-analysis in foreign research. The content analysis method was employed in the study, which involved analyzing original scientific papers and preliminary communications in the field of sociology published in four journals on the Hrčak portal. The topics of the papers, their methodological content, and the conclusions of the papers were analyzed in relation to the subject matter of this thesis.
