Write the Summary Statement
When the plaintiff was physically attractive, the jurors were significantly more certain of her guilt (M = 6.21, s = 1.81, n = 160) than when the plaintiff was not physically attractive (M = 5.52, s = 2.17, n = 164), t(314.4) = 3.08, p = .002,d = .34, 95% CI [.12, .56].
Equal Variances Assumed or Not
• I followed Zimmerman’s advice and reported the “equal variances not assumed” t, because the sample sizes were not equal.
• But you must always use the “equal variances assumed” t and df when using the program that estimates Cohen’s d.
SD or s• For many years, “SD” was the APA-
approved symbol for standard deviation.• In the most recent Publication Manual they
added “s” as appropriate to symbolize the sample standard deviation.
• Only time will tell whether authors shift from “SD” to “s.”
