Crooks, Noelle M.; Bartel, Anna N.; Alibali, Martha W. – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2019
In recent years, there have been calls for researchers to report and interpret confidence intervals (CIs) rather than relying solely on p-values. Such reforms, however, may be hindered by a general lack of understanding of CIs and how to interpret them. In this study, we assessed conceptual knowledge of CIs in undergraduate and graduate psychology…
