Abstract
Every day with new researches, literature in almost all research disciplines is becoming so bulky and variant results produced have made it more confusing too. A new analytical technique “Meta-Analysis” is a solution which supplies a common cognizant result and fulfills the need for studies to reach at communality by synthesizing the findings. The present paper aims at meta-analyzing gender-differences in environmentalism on Indian literature and enquires the effect of moderators if any. Meta-analytical research methodology uses mean difference effect size popularly known as Hedges “g”. Results provide evidence for notable gender differences, concluding that female concern for environment is high but they are lacked behind by males on behavioural part. Sample profession, age and place of belongingness come out to be significant moderators according to which substantial gender differences can be described. Afterward, implications and future research directions are discussed.
