5  Effect size methods ✎ Very rough draft

5.1 Refresher on effect size calculation

  • Calculation of Cohen’s d, r, etc.

5.2 Distributions of effect sizes

  • Distributions of d, r, partial eta-squared, etc.
    • For different types of phenomena/tests (e.g., interventions vs manipulation checks)
    • For different fields
    • Avoiding ever saying “domain knowledge”

5.3 Maximum positive controls and intuition benchmarks

  • Using known effects as anchors for plausibility assessment

5.4 Common errors

  • The Standard Error error (reporting SE instead of SD, or vice versa)
