q2 i? Tukey HSD post-hoc comparisons showed significant differences (p = .000) between each experimental group and the control group, with mean differences of 4.17500 (magazine vs control) and 4.75000 (wall newspaper vs control). → Mona Poorverdi Shiraz and Ebrahim Ezati Larsari 2014

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Tukey HSD multiple comparisons on post-test scores of the three groups (N = 120). Table 8 reports Experimental A vs control mean difference 4.17500 and Experimental B vs control 4.75000, both significant at the 0.05 level; the article concludes both project types significantly improved reading comprehension over CLT.

"the mean difference between the experimental group (B) and the control group is (mean difference = 4.75000) and p(0.00) < 0.05 resulting that there is a significant effect of developing Wall Newspaper on EFL learners' reading comprehension."
