Abstract

The reporting effect sizes (ESs) and confidence intervals (CIs) of ESs has become recommended practice in the social sciences; however, these values are frequently omitted by authors in manuscripts submitted forPUBLICation. Consequently, the meaningfulness and clinical relevance of their findings go unaddressed. As a result, a growing number of scholarly journals now require researchers to incorporate findings of clinical significance in their reporting of results. In this article, we review the most common conventions used for estimating and reporting ESs and CIs of ESs and illustrate how researchers can compute and interpret these measures of practical significance.

心理咨询结果研究中效应量的计算与报告

报告效应量(ESs)和置信区间(ci)已成为社会科学的推荐实践;然而，这些值经常被作者在提交出版的手稿中省略。因此，他们的发现的意义和临床相关性没有得到解决。因此，越来越多的学术期刊现在要求研究人员在报告结果时纳入具有临床意义的发现。在本文中，我们回顾了用于估计和报告ESs和ESs ci的最常见惯例，并说明了研究人员如何计算和解释这些具有实际意义的度量。
