In order to assess the extent of the disregard for these considerations, a statistical power analysis of the articles published in the 1973 volumes of the nine major communication journals was conducted. The results indicated that published communication research was generally lacking in statistical power. The average estimates for small, medium, and large effects were .18, .52, and .79, respectively. These estimates correlate with previously conducted power analyses by psychological and educational researchers, thus evidencing the fact that low statistical power pervades behavioral research. Recommendations for the eradication of this neglect were advanced, and the role of power analysis as a component of modern data analysis was explicated. 1974 English text Bowling Green State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1566297702059527 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1566297702059527 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
