ERIC ED438313: A Review of Post Literature

More Book Details

Description of the Book:

This paper summarizes the literature regarding statistical significance testing with an emphasis on: (1) the post-1994 literature in various disciplines; (2) alternatives to statistical significance testing; and (3) literature exploring why researchers have demonstrably failed to be influenced by the 1994 American Psychological Association publication manual’s “encouragement” to report effect sizes. Also considered are defenses of statistical significance tests. If the most practical goal for researcher was realized, statistical tests would not be completely banned, but would routinely be supplemented with accurate reports of effect size, confidence intervals, and replicability analyses.
