Question

An industrial/organizational psychologist has been consulting with a company that runs weekend job-seeking workshops for the unemployed. He collected data on several issues related to these workshops and, after conducting statistical tests, obtained statistically significant findings. He needs to find a way to evaluate effect size so that he can make recommendations to the company.

One of the psychologist’s findings is that six months after the workshop, a sample of 49 job seekers who received training on resume writing scored an average of 6.5 as measured on a 9-point job-search satisfaction scale, with a standard deviation of 1.2. The typical job seeker scores 5.8 points.

The psychologist finds that the estimated Cohen’s d is ____ , the t statistic is 4.12, and r² is .

Using Cohen’s d and Cohen’s guidelines for interpreting the effect size with the estimated Cohen’s d, there is a _____ treatment effect. Using r² and the extension of Cohen’s guidelines for interpreting the effect size using r², there is a ____ treatment effect. (Hint: When using Cohen’s guidelines for interpreting the effect size, if the value lies between two categories, then specify the range covered by both categories, for example, medium to large.)

Another one of the psychologist’s findings is that a sample of 144 job seekers who received training on dressing for interviews worked more than 30 hours an average of 6.9 months in the last year, with a standard deviation of 2.5. The typical job seeker works 6.4 months.

He finds that the estimated Cohen’s d is ____ , the t statistic is 2.38, and r² is ___ . Using Cohen’s d and Cohen’s guidelines for interpreting the effect size with the estimated Cohen’s d, there is a ___ treatment effect. Using r² and the extension of Cohen’s guidelines for interpreting the effect size with r², there is a ____ treatment effect.

Hello. Since your question has multiple parts, we will solve first question for you. If you want remaining sub-parts to be solved, then please resubmit the whole question and specify those sub-parts you want us to solve.

From the data, we can see that,

This is a one-sample t-test.

We know that, Cohen’s d and r^2 are measures which are required to interpret the effect size of a t-test. Effect size is generally used to measure the magnitude of association between variables.

For Cohen’s d, if the effect size is 0.2, there is a small effect, if it is 0.5 then there is a medium effect, and if it is 0.8, then it has a large effect. For r^2, if the effect size is between 0 to 0.3, there is a small effect, if it is between 0.3 to 0.5 then there is a medium effect, and if the effect is between 0.5 to 1, then there is a large effect.
