Using the Bonferroni correction reduces our overall risk of Type I error but increases the risk of Type II error for factors that have minor and moderate effects.

Question

The Bonferroni correction adjusts the significance level to control for the overall Type I error rate across multiple comparisons, making it more difficult to find significant results. This increases the likelihood of Type II errors, especially for effects that are small to moderate, as it becomes harder to detect these effects when the criteria for significance are more stringent.
