✦ Synopsis
In this paper we classify 86 published studies of participation conducted in the U.S. according to whether they are based on cognitive or motivational conceptual frameworks, then conduct a meta-analysis of 124 correlation coecients obtained from them to determine whether distinguishing between conceptual frameworks portends dierences in the ®ndings of U.S. research on the eects of participatory processes on performance and satisfaction. Results reveal noticeable dierences in the ®ndings of participation±satisfaction research, but also indicate that these dierences diminish substantially upon elimination of research based on single-source self-reports. If interpreted as evidence of percept±percept in¯ation, these ®ndings are wholly consistent with those of other recent analyses. If interpreted as evidence of the greater accuracy of self-report measures of intra-psychic phenomena, they suggest that research on the relationship between participation and satisfaction has been in¯uenced by the conceptual frameworks used to design studies and formulate conclusions. *
