EFFECT SIZEEFFECT SIZE
General Term that Refers to the Strength of Association Between Variables
Pearson r Correlation Coefficient is One Indicator of Effect Size
Advantage of Reporting Effect Size is that it Provides a Scale of Values that is Consistent Across All Types of Studies

EFFECT SIZEEFFECT SIZE
• Differences in effect sizes• Small effects near r = .15• Medium effects near r = .30• Large effects above r = .40
• Squared value of the coefficient r² - transforms the value of r to a percentage• Percent of shared variance between the two
variables

REGRESSION EQUATIONSREGRESSION EQUATIONS
Calculations used to predict a person’s score on one variable when that person’s score on another variable is already known
General Form: Y=a + bX
Y = Score we wish to predict
X = Score that is known
a = constant
b = weighing adjustment

MULTIPLE CORRELATIONMULTIPLE CORRELATION
Used to combine a number of predictor variables to increase the accuracy of prediction of a given criterion or outcome variable
Symbolized RY=a+b1X1 + b2X2 +…+bnXn
a=constant, b=weights, X=predictor R2
