Guan, Jianmin; Xiang, Ping; Keating, Xiaofen Deng – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2004
Although replication is important to the validity of a study and is endorsed by more and more scholars, few researchers in kinesiology attend to this issue. Some researchers may believe that statistical significance and effect size are the most important statistical issues in their research and thereby may have ignored the importance of result…
