The Mind's Wanderlust: A Meta-Analysis of Mind Wandering, Task-Related Interference, and Learning

This dataset includes the data and analysis code for the meta-analysis on task-related interference, mind wandering, and overall, off-task thought.

There are four folders, one for each phase. Additionally, there is a folder containing data about the inter-rater reliability for abstract and full-text screening phases.

The folder "01 - Title and Abstract Screening" contains all records identified for each database queried and a list of the records excluded after title and abstract screening. All files are Excel files.

The second folder, "02 - Full Text Screening", contains a list of all the papers included in the fulltext screening, a list of the excluded records along with the exclusion reason, and a list of all papers included after the full-text screening. All files are Excel files.

The third folder, " 03 - Extracted data", contains a .csv file with all the data extracted from the records.

The fourth folder, " 04 - Analysis", contains the code to analyse the extracted data. The file is a Quarto file (.qmd); the software will be needed to generate the analysis report. However, the file is plain text, and the analysis is written in R. Therefore, the analysis can be reproduced by executing the R code within the file.
