the more conservative calculation of Effect Size.

EFFECT SIZE CONVERSIONS:

To convert d Effect Size into Hedge's g Effect Size, enter n

sizes (if available)* and d value into the RED cells, then click
the YELLOW box to calculate:

Group #2 n 59.000
d Effect Size 1.060

 To convert an F-score (that is a comparison of two
independent groups) into r and d Effect Sizes, enter raw data
in RED cells, then click the YELLOW box to calculate:

**NOTE:The F-value has to be from a comparison of just two

groups. Conversions to r or d should not be attempted from an
omnibus F test (i.e., with numerator df > 1).
