effect, and lengthening the supportive straps to create more allowance for use
between people of different
sizes.
• Duke researchers Charles Clotfelter, Helen Ladd, and Jacob Vigdor found that being taught by a sub for 10 days per year has a
larger effect on a child's math scores than if he'd changed schools, and about half the
size of the difference
between students from well - to - do and poor families.
Black and William report that studies of formative assessment show an
effect size on standardized tests of
between 0.4 and 0.7,
larger than most known educational interventions.

largest effect sizes on academic outcomes for remedial summer school programs that are
between 60 and 120 hours in length.
This study goes beyond previous meta - analysis and narrative reviews by testing whether the levels of depressive symptoms differ
between types of illness and whether the
effect size is influenced by a
large number of study characteristics.
Effect sizes of 0.2 - 0.5 are considered small, those
between 0.51 - 0.81 are considered moderate, and those over 0.8 are considered
large.
The increased number of significant associations
between anti-smoking practices and cognitions, as well as the
larger effect size at Step 3 in the Grade 9 analyses could indicate this.
Interestingly, the results of our longitudinal meta - analysis found a
larger pooled
effect size (ORs
between 1.20 and 1.58) than the pooled OR of 1.18 reported in the cross-sectional meta - analysis of de Wit et al. 9 Possibly time plays a role in the association
between depression and obesity.
The quasi-experimental design reduces spillover
effects and makes it easier to implement the program, but does not eliminate the possibility of selection bias.35, 36 The use of prospectively defined controls at quasi-experimental sites likely contributed to minimized discrepancies in outcomes
between randomization and quasi-experimental groups.37 For several parenting outcomes, such as discipline practices, findings were of similar magnitude and direction at randomization and quasi-experimental sites, but statistically significant at only quasi-experimental sites, where the sample
size was
larger; they were significant in the pooled sample, as well.
A
larger effect size is more desirable because it suggests less overlap
between the 2 populations.
Asymmetry might be due to publication bias, but might also reflect a relationship
between trial
size and
effect size such as when
larger trials have lower compliance, and compliance is positively related to
effect size.
Of note, the
effect size of paternal undermining was the
largest difference in parental behaviors found
between families with children with an anxiety disorder versus control children;
effect sizes for parenting behaviors toward the child (control, rejection) were smaller and non-significant.
We found a trend in the category authoritative parenting (z = 1.92, p < 0.10, k = 12), indicating a trend for the link
between higher reliabilities and
larger effect sizes.
Results indicated that the overall working alliance scores (t14 = 3.03, P <.001, d = 0.60) and the agreement
between therapist and patient on the therapy goals subscale scores (t14 = 2.30, P =.03, d = 0.79) were significantly higher in e-therapy than in face - to - face interventions, with medium to
large effect sizes.
Results indicated that there was no significant difference
between groups for therapeutic alliance score (t47 = — 1.02, P =.31, d = 0.29; according to Cohen [37], an
effect size of 0.2 to 0.3 represents a small
effect, around 0.5 represents a medium
effect, and 0.8 or greater represents a
large effect).
PMT may have significant preventive
effects, especially if it is applied during the preschool period, 42 or is a component of broader preventive interventions for school - age children at risk for conduct problems.43, 44 An integrative review of 26 reviews and meta - analyses (1,075 studies) published
between 1990 and 2008 found that PMT interventions had a
larger effect size than either child focused or school / community based interventions (ds =.56,.41, and.28, respectively).45 If PMT can play a role in the prevention of conduct problems, that will have important implications for reducing the need for ongoing interventions throughout the developmental period and adulthood.
As previously reported, the pretreatment to post-treatment
effect size on the primary outcome of health anxiety HAI was d = 1.8 in the ICBT group and d = 1.2 in the IBSM group, indicating that both treatments yielded
large improvements in health anxiety.12 Mixed -
effects models analysis showed that ICBT led to significantly
larger reductions of health anxiety compared with IBSM (F = 3.9; df = 2, 121; p = 0.022;
between - group d at post-treatment = 0.3).

between socially anxious and healthy Spanish adolescents as demonstrated by measurement invariance (χ 2 = 254.27, df = 1343, GFI =.884, AGFI =.872, RMR =.031) and the
