Contrasts and Effect Sizes in Behavioral Research: A Correlational Approach. Rosenthal, Robert; Rosnow, Ralph L.; Rubin, Donald B.
10485A Cambridge Cambridge University Press 2000 Paperback large octavo, as new condition, tables. 212 pp. Examines contrasts, which are statistical procedures for asking focused questions of data. Compared to diffuse or omnibus questions, focused questions have greater conceptual clarity and greater statistical power. If an effect truly exists, we are more likely to discover it when asking focused (rather than omnibus) questions. Researchers and teachers of research methods will be introduced to the principles and procedures of contrast analysis, and also to a series of newly developed concepts, measures, and indices that permit a wider and more useful application of contrast analysis.
