Effect Sizes and "What If" Analyses as Supplements to Statistical Significance Tests.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Pedersen, Susan – Journal of Early Intervention, 2003
This article discusses alternative analyses that reflect the practical significance of test results and the role of sample size in the interpretation of results. It explores effect size reporting and using "what if" analyses to reflect on the role of sample size in the decision to accept the null hypothesis. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)

Qualitative Analysis of Latino Parents' Religious Interpretations of Their Child's Disability.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Skinner, Debra; Rodriguez, Patricia; Bailey, Donald B., Jr. – Journal of Early Intervention, 1999
This study demonstrates three ways of analyzing qualitative interview data: content, cultural models, and narrative analyses. Interview data from 250 Latino parents of young children with mental retardation illustrates these types of analyses. Suggestions for ways in which early intervention studies could be extended by considering different…
