Subclaims¶

q3 i2 Pillai's trace did not reveal statistically significant between-group differences on the combined SHME and SME outcomes (p > .05), with a printed partial eta squared of .04 that the authors characterized as negligible. → Bunch 2014

q3 · i2 · causal · r2

MANOVA on the two dependent variables (SHME and SME scores) in the quasi-experimental study; the quote reports "V = 0.04, F(2, 94) = 1.84, p > .05". The article separately reports the treatment effect size as a "negligible (Thalheimer & Cook, 2002) effect (Partial η 2 = .04)".

"The multivariate test statistic, Pillai's trace, did not reveal statistically significant between-group differences as a result of the treatment ( V = 0.04, F(2, 94) = 1.84, p > .05)"
