Abstract
This research employed meta-analysis procedures to summarize eleven reading motivation studies from 1998 to 2012. These eleven studies were experimental and quasi-experimental in nature.

The average total sample size ranged from 16 to 568 for the experimental group and 6 to 940 for the control group. The data were analyzed using meta-analysis software.
