This study saw as a higher η-square worth (0.733) in the exploratory gathering contrasted with the benchmark group (0.582), showing a bigger impact size because of exploratory condition. This demonstrates that roughly 73. The treatment was responsible for 3% of the experimental group's variance in the dependent variable.
