Common criticism on Meta-Analyses
file drawer problem / publication bias
Include grey literature
compare apples and oranges
concrete wording
voting method
evaluate differences of surveys

Main results
• Attitudes towards bears were significantly more positive than towards wolves
• There are significant differences in attitudes towards wolves among social groups, with farmers and hunters being less positive than the general public
• Across all surveys there was evidence that participants age had a negative effect on attitudes towards both species, while level of education had a positive effect

• Attitudes towards wolves seem to become less positive with the duration of co-existence, while the support for hunting them increases
• Most surveys were carried out by natural scientists
• The quality of survey methods differed a lot
• The research field is still quiet young in Europe
