q2 · i2 · associational · r2

Validity check in the national survey comparing t-tests of scale ratings between students who mentioned a feeling (happy, stressed, sad, lonely, anxious, bored, nervous, depressed) and those who did not. Effects were "moderate to large (0.44 ≤ |d| ≤ 1.50)", i.e., d = 0.44 at the low end.

"All differences in ratings between students who mentioned a given feeling and students who did not mention that feeling were significant and all effect sizes were moderate to large (0.44 ≤ |d| ≤ 1.50)."
