Cautionary Note on Reporting Eta-Squared Values from Multifactor ANOVA Designs

Abstract: The authors provide a cautionary note on reporting accurate eta-squared values from multifactor analysis of variance (ANOVA) designs. They reinforce the distinction between classical and partial eta-squared as measures of strength of association. They provide examples from articles published in premier psychology journals in which the authors erroneously reported partial eta-squared values as representing classical etasquared values. Finally, they discuss broader impacts of inaccurately reported etasquared val… Show more

“…This in turn determined the statistical significance of the differences between distortion and asynchrony levels, indicated by a probability less than 0.05 %, p< .05 [16]. Effect sizes were calculated using the partial eta-squared (η 2 p ) statistic [31]; this provided a measure, comparable across experiments, for the strength of the effect of asynchrony and/or distortion on reported synchrony. Differences between distortion levels were deduced from graphs plotted with standard errors of the mean illustrating the response variation.…”

“…One-way analyses of variance (ANOVA) with Tukey post hoc tests were used to determine differences in motor coordination skills between the groups. Additionally, eta-squared was calculated to report the effect sizes for the ANOVAs (0.02 = small, 0.13 = medium, 0.26 = large) [19]. In all the analyses, the level of significance was set at 0.05.…”

“…These indices are the ratio of the variance attributable to the effect and the sum of the variance attributable to the effect and the variance not explained in the model. They are not classic measures of eta-squared, do not reflect proportion variance accounted for, and do not sum to one (Pierce et al, 2004). (Berry, 1999; West & Yassouda, 2004), compromises the effective engagement of cognitive resources (West, Thorn, & Bagwell, 2003; West, Bagwell, & Dark-Freudeman, 2005).…”
