"824","Significance Test or Effect Size?","I describe and question the argument that in psychological research, the significance test should be replaced (or, at least, supplemented) by a more informative index (viz., effect size or statistical power) in the case of theory-corroboration experimentation because it has been made on the basis of some debatable assumptions about the rationale of scientific investigation. The rationale of theory-corroboration experimentation requires nothing more than a binary decision about the relation between two variables. This binary decision supplies the minor premise for the syllogism implicated when a theory is being tested. Some metatheoretical considerations reveal that the magnitude of the effect-size estimate is not a satisfactory alternative to the significance test.","http://cogprints.org/824/","Chow, Siu L.","UNSPECIFIED","       <span class=\"person_name\">Chow, Siu L.</span>     (1988)  <a href=\"http://cogprints.org/824/\"><em>Significance Test or Effect Size?</em></a>       [Journal (Paginated)]           ","","1988"
