Assessing the Importance of Experimental Outcomes

Relationship between Self-Confidence and Sex Role Identity among Managerial Women and Men

“…An analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to examine the influence of sex and sex role orientation together with education, hierarchical level, age, and tenure on the dependent variable, self-confidence (see Table 2). Consistent with the hypothesis, a significant main effect on self-confidence for sex role orientation of the individual but not for sex was found, with sex role orientation explaining 53.4% of the variance in self-confidence (Hudson, Thyer, & Stocks, 1985). No interaction effect was statistically significant, and the effects of age and tenure did not confound any of the results shown earlier.…”

Advanced Standing and Two-Year Program MSW Students: An Empirical Investigation of Foundation Interviewing Skills

“…8 ; p < .01], but the factor of type of program (advanced versus twoyear) accounts for at most 18 % of variance in the students' ages (cf. Hudson, Thyer, & Stocks, 1985).…”

Feasibility and Implementation of a Statewide Evaluation of Substance Abuse Services

“…Statistical analysis revealed significant changes in scores from pretreatment to posttreatment for Family, Employment, Drug, Alcohol, and Psychiatric subscales. However, because of the large standard deviations across all variables, we calculated effect sizes for all variables using the proportion of variance explained (PVE; Hudson, Thyer, & Stocks, 1985). Effects sizes range from 4% to 35% (Table 1).…”

“…Although the findings of this study represent a preliminary effort to establish a statewide treatment-outcome monitoring system for publicly-funded substance abuse programs throughout the state of Georgia, it is important to note that each of the three evaluation objectives were 420 RESEARCH ON SOCIAL WORK PRACTICE (Hudson, Thyer, & Stocks, 1985). b. Denotes significant differences with adjusted p value (p < .007).…”
