Background: This commentary discusses the recent paper by Quinn and Fromme (2011), placing their results into perspective. Results: Quinn and Fromme’s meta‐analysis is an important and useful synthesis of a complex literature. It is clear, well written, and well reasoned, with conclusions that are relevant to both the Low Level of Response Model and the Differentiator Model. Conclusions: Drs. Quinn and Fromme use a thorough and thoughtful approach, and I encourage researchers to address the important questions raised by their meta‐analysis.
