Abstract Details

2008, MA, University of Cincinnati, Education : Educational Studies.
Reporting effect size to supplement p-value in null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) is highly recommended by scholars, journals and academic associations. The current comprehensive review investigated the most recent effect size reporting and interpreting practices of 1,243 studies published in 14 academic journals from 2005 to 2007. Overall, 49.1% of the articles reported effect size and 56.7% of them interpreted effect size. A series of Chi-square tests suggested that (a) effect size reporting and interpreting practices statistically differ between types of journals; (b) only effect size interpreting practice differs between different NHST methods; (c) neither effect size reporting nor interpreting practice differ between years. The importance of reporting and interpreting effect size is also discussed.
