Crossman, Leslie L. – 1994
The present paper suggests that multivariate techniques are very important in social science research, and that canonical correlation analysis may be particularly useful. The logic of canonical analysis is explained and discussed. The necessity of using replicability/generalizability analyses is argued. It is suggested that cross-validation…

McNeil, Keith – 1991
A research design is described for the situation in which a program, particularly a compensatory education program funded by Chapter 1 of the Hawkins Stafford Act of 1988, can be evaluated when there is no available comparison group and no pretest data. The design requires content specialists to identify which objectives on the posttest were…

Tucker, Mary; Taylor, Dianne – 1991
The use of Procrustean rotation as a procedure for assessing the invariance of study results is proposed. Researchers have long relied on significance testing as a measure of judging the worthiness of empirical findings. However, significance testing has come under fire because it does not provide information about the importance or replicability…

Neie, Van E. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1974
Identifies some errors commonly committed when educational research results are reported. (BR)

Rosenthal, Robert – 1989
An overview of the state of the art in psychological research is presented, with an emphasis on the attention given to effect sizes. The acceptance of small effect sizes for biomedical research is contrasted with the rejection of similar effect sizes for psychological research. The Binomial Effect Size Display is used to depict the practical…

Heausler, Nancy L. – 1987
Each of the four classic multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) tests of statistical significance may lead a researcher to different decisions as to whether a null hypothesis should be rejected: (1) Wilks' lambda; (2) Lawley-Hotelling trace criterion; (3) Roy's greatest characteristic root criterion; and (4) Pillai's trace criterion. These…

Nandakumar, Ratna – 1988
The effectiveness of Stout's procedure for assessing latent trait unidimensionality was studied. Strong empirical evidence of the utility of the statistical test in a variety of settings is provided. The procedure was modified to correct for increased bias, and a new algorithm to determine the size of assessment sub-tests was used. The following…

Stallings, William M. – 1985
In the educational research literature alpha, the a priori level of significance, and p, the a posteriori probability of obtaining a test statistic of at least a certain value when the null hypothesis is true, are often confused. Explanations for this confusion are offered. Paradoxically, alpha retains a prominent place in textbook discussions of…

Carroll, C. Dennis; McKeown, Robin J. – 1977
The application of a multivariate analytic technique for the analysis of data from longitudinal designs with multiple dependent variables is presented. The technigue is the multivariate generalization of univariate repeated measures ANOVA. An application of the technique to data collected using materials from the Asian Studies Curriculum Project…

Heikkinen, Charles A. – Journal of Counseling Psychology, 1975
This investigation replicated and agreed with the findings of a recent study by Wittmer and Webster in which significant relationships consistently appeared between teaching experience and closed-mindedness in counseling students as measured by the Rokeach Dogmatism Scale. The requirement of teaching experience for counseling practice is…

Borich, Gary D.; And Others – 1975
The homogeneity of group regressions test and regions of significance test are two procedures which are frequently recommended for testing and aptitude-treatment or trait-treatment interaction (ATI) hypothesis. The former is used to determine if treatment group regressions are nonparallel while the latter is used to determine the range of aptitude…

Schwarzmueller, E. Beth; And Others – 1980
Statistical procedures of the regression discontinuity and regression projection designs were compared to determine which design was more able to detect treatment effect in remedial or gifted programs. Neither test was more precise in all situations. Tables list the more precise test usder specific conditions. The regression projection model…

Delaney, Harold D.; Maxwell, Scott E. – 1980
The conceptualization of analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), as an analysis of variance (ANOVA) on the residual scores that are obtained when the dependent variable is regressed on the covariate, is mathematically incorrect. If residuals are obtained from the pooled within-groups regression coefficient, ANOVA on the residuals results in an inflated…

MATTSON, DALE E.; STOLUROW, LAWRENCE M. – 1963
THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS STUDY WERE (1) TO IDENTIFY AND COMPARE THREE KINDS OF TRANSFER EFFECTS--AN EFFECT ASSOCIATED WITH CUE REPETITION, A LEARNING-TO-LEARN EFFECT, AND A WARM-UP EFFECT, AND (2) TO EVALUATE THE USEFULNESS OF CUE-RESPONSE CORRELATIONS IN EXPLAINING TRANSFER EFFECTS. THE STUDY WAS BASED ON THE DEFINITION OF TRANSFER EFFECTS AS…
