Özet:

The purpose of this research is to study gender differences in career maturity using the meta-analysis method. For this purpose, graduate theses and articles studied on career maturity in Turkey between 2000-2017 years have been studied. For the study of the theses, the National Thesis Center of the Higher Education Council and the National Database of ULAKBIM were also used to study scientific articles. The sample of this study is composed of 17 studies containing data in accordance with the gender variable and the coding protocol. The study included a total of 9133 participants, including 4538 (49.7 percent) women and 4595 (50.3 percent) men. The size of the influence of career maturity according to gender was determined by using the standardized average difference (SOF) analysis method known as Cohen d. To determine the error of broadcast, Rosenthal's FSN Number, Huni Graphics, Duval-Tweedie's Crop-Fulling Method and Egger test results have been studied and there has been no error of broadcast in meta analysis. Sub-group analysis was also conducted to determine how the meta analysis results varied according to different sampling groups (secondary and high school students). The study found that there was a heterogeneous distribution (Q=40.824 p=0.001, I2=60.807). According to the random effects model, the results of the study showed the size of the effect in a meaningful and small level (d=0.303, [0.234; 0.371], p=0.000) in favour of women. Furthermore, the subgroup analysis results showed that the size of the effect calculated by gender significantly varied according to the school stage.
