Interpreting the strength and practical implications of effect sizes based on correlation coefficients is:
A)The same as interpreting percentage scores of exams.
B)The same as interpreting correlation coefficients in studies of instrument reliability.
C)Less meaningful than just asking whether the correlation is statistically significant.
D)None of these.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interpreting the strength and practical implications of effect sizes based on correlation coefficients depends on several factors, such as the context, sample size, and research design. Therefore, it is not equivalent to interpreting percentage scores or instrument reliability. Additionally, knowing only whether a correlation is statistically significant is not enough to fully understand its magnitude or practical implications. Thus, none of the options adequately captures the complexity of interpreting correlation coefficients.
