Individuals with psychotic disorders might choose to forgo antipsychotic medication because of side effects.1 Over 40 randomised controlled trials (RCT) have demonstrated that cognitive behavioural therapy for psychosis (CBTp) is generally efficacious in improving symptoms, with small to
medium effect sizes in individuals with psychotic disorders.2 It was unknown, until now, if individuals with psychotic disorders who were antipsychotic - free could tolerate CBTp and benefit from it.
A paired - samples t - test demonstrated significant differences with small to
medium effect sizes in the before and after scores for all three subscales.

in London to determine the optimum
size, distribution and composition of urban green spaces needed to achieve urban cooling.
Low - ability students performed better

The proximity preference for the DDS speaker

Existing SNHV trials show relatively modest
effects (
effect sizes of 0.2 — 0.4 SDs) for outcomes such as child mental health and behaviour, and cognitive and language development, from infancy to mid - childhood.19 While
effect sizes of 0.25 — 0.3 SDs can be meaningful and impactful at the whole of population level, 59 targeted public health interventions such as SNHV include a cost and intensity such that larger
effects in the short - to -
medium term might be necessary to justify implementation at a population level.
Sample
size was calculated based on the primary outcome, that is, reduced emotional and behavioural problems
in the children with a
medium effect size (Cohen's d = 0.5).
MacBeth et al 24 found
medium effect sizes for child or parent outcomes
in a review of the Mellow Parenting intervention for families with children aged 0 — 8 years.
In addition, there was a trend for COPE mothers to report less total negative mood 1 year after hospitalization, compared with control mothers (P <.10,
medium effect size).
Implementation intentions have been demonstrated to be an effective tool of behavioural change
in numerous settings and behaviours, displaying
medium to strong
effect sizes.98 — 100 Coping plans refer to plans that specify a critical barrier to the intended / planned behaviour and a specific strategy on how to cope with this barrier.101 A recent systematic review attests that the combination of action planning and coping planning seems to be most effective for behavioural change.102 Self - efficacy has also been shown to be a crucial factor
in health behaviour change across different behaviours and different populations.
A Hedge g
effect size estimate was used
in the power analysis because it includes a correction for sample
size and is therefore more appropriate to use with small samples.26 The interpretation of g is similar to the interpretation of the Cohen d: 0.80 or greater is considered large, 0.50 to 0.79 is considered
medium, and 0.20 to 0.49 is considered small.27 A minimum
effect size of g = 1.0 was expected based on prior uncontrolled studies of CBCT and the broader psychotherapy research for PTSD.28 An
effect size of g = 1.0 represents an approximately 25 - point improvement
in total CAPS scores.
On the five significant variables (YSR internalizing, YSR externalizing, mastery, ITIA total and contentment
in school)
effect sizes (Δ) were small to
medium on Cohen's criteria [29].
The

At the end of the intervention (infant age = 24 month), attachment security scores derived from Waters» Attachment Q - Sort were
in the predicted direction and showed a
medium effect size, but did not reach criteria of statistical significance.
In a meta - analysis social support emerged as a significant predictor of loneliness with a
medium effect size (Mahon et al., 2006).
Adolescents who reported exclusively romantic sexual relationships (n = 1,891) shared more emotional, but not social, activities with their partners than adolescents who were
in non-romantic sexual relationships (n = 315; small
effect size, r =.07 — .13), akin to adolescents who experienced both relationship types (n = 519; small - to -
medium effect size, r =.18 — .38).
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.
More specifically, when parents are more supportive and less authoritarian, their children's verbal and intelligence scores are higher, when examined prospectively.12, 13 Similarly, small to
medium effect sizes have been found through meta - analysis for the relationship between mother - child attachment and children's peer relations, 14 and there is evidence that attachment style predicts differing trajectories
in terms of the child's emotion regulation.15
In addition, the power to detect significant differences for small to
medium effect sizes was limited because of the relatively small cell
sizes, particularly for satisfied couples with a depressed husband.
Finally, although adjustments were made to correct for potential type I error, it is important to note that these are correlational analyses, and
effect sizes tended to be small to
medium in size.
The present findings for emotion recognition of dynamic stimuli are broadly consistent with those obtained
in studies using static images of facial expressions to investigate facial emotion recognition
in adolescents with CD (Fairchild et al. 2009; Fairchild et al. 2010; Sully et al. 2015), and the current
effect sizes were similar
in size (i.e.,
medium) to those observed
in previous studies.
In order to have 0.8 power to detect a
medium effect size when carrying out correlation / multiple regression analysis with three independent variables, a sample
size of 76 would be required.
Effect sizes were

Post-hoc analysis indicated that only the HAPA - enhanced group exhibited a significant main
effect of time, with a
medium effect size of significant increase
in life satisfaction over time, F1.45, 150.79 = 9.97, partial eta square = 0.09, P <.001.
Effect sizes ranged from 0.20 to 0.30, or between small to
