在社会科学数据分析中,越来越多的人强调使用效应量报告。尽管如此,效应量报告的使用仍然不一致,效应量估计的解释仍然很混乱。研究人员有许多效应量估计选项,并非所有这些都适用于每个研究问题。临床医生在解释与临床实践相关的效应量方面也可能没有什么指导。本文为社会科学提供了效应量估计的入门。常见的效应量估计,它们的使用和解释是作为研究人员的指南。
Increasing emphasis has been placed on the use of effect size reporting in the analysis of social science data. Nonetheless, the use of effect size reporting remains inconsistent, and interpretation of effect size estimates continues to be confused. Researchers are presented with numerous effect sizes estimate options, not all of which are appropriate for every research question. Clinicians also may have little guidance in the interpretation of effect sizes relevant for clinical practice. The current article provides a primer of effect size estimates for the social sciences. Common effect sizes estimates, their use, and interpretations are presented as a guide for researchers.
