q2 · i? · causal · r2

Test of homogeneity of variances (Levene statistic .171, df 82, sig .826) on the reading comprehension pre-test of the 61 participants; the article concludes the groups "were comparable" at the outset. No effect size is printed.

"As it can be seen in Table3, the reported sig. is ( P>.05) 0.826 > .05 which is larger than 0.05. So there was no significant difference between these groups at the beginning of the experiment and they were comparable."
