Providing Evidence for the Null Hypothesis in Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Using Group-Level Bayesian Inference

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroinformatics, 2021
Classical null hypothesis significance testing is limited to the rejection of the point-null hypothesis; it does not allow the interpretation of non-significant results. This leads to a bias against the null hypothesis.

Searching for Significance in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning and Finding None: Understanding Non-Significant Results

open access: yesTeaching & Learning Inquiry: The ISSOTL Journal, 2016
Quantitative results from empirical studies are common in the field of Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), but it is important to remain aware of what the results from our studies can, and cannot, tell us. Oftentimes studies conducted to examine

On the Importance of Modeling the Invisible World of Underlying Effect Sizes

open access: yesSocial Psychological Bulletin, 2023
The headline findings from the Open Science Collaboration (2015)―namely, that 36% of original experiments replicated at p < .05, with the overall replication effect sizes being half as large as the original effects―cannot be meaningfully interpreted ...

Null Hypothesis Significance Testing: A Brief Review

open access: yes, 2021
Null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) dominates the interpretation of quantitative data analysis in education, psychology, and other social science fields (Shaver, 1993). Meanwhile, the use of NHST has been under enduring and intense criticisms (Carver, 1978; Cohen, 1997; Cumming, 2013; Thompson, 1993, 1996, 1999). In 2015, the journal, Basic and

Overview on the Null Hypothesis Significance Test

open access: yes, 2021
For decades, waxing and waning, there has been an ongoing debate on the values and problems of the ubiquitously used null hypothesis significance test (NHST). With the start of the replication crisis, this debate has flared-up once again, especially in the psychology and psychological methods literature.

The harmful effect of null hypothesis significance testing on marketing research: an example [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) has had and continues to have an adverse effect on marketing research. The most recent American Statistical Association (ASA) statement recognized NHST’s invalidity and thus recommended abandoning it in 2019 ...

Distinguishing between statistical significance and practical/clinical meaningfulness using statistical inference.

open access: yes, 2014
Decisions about support for predictions of theories in light of data are made using statistical inference. The dominant approach in sport and exercise science is the Neyman-Pearson significance-testing approach.
