Fellow TIPsters,
A couple of weeks ago I sent out a request for information on Behavioral
Genetics courses and received only one response. This overwhelming response
has led me to wonder - how many of you (or your colleagues) offer such a
course in your program and what pros/cons do you see to h

Can someone please refer my to a source that will shed some light
on what precisely the "difference" between clinical and statistical
significance is. One often hears somebody saying: "Yes, there is
no statistical significance, but there is definitely a clinical
significance." To

Three questions for which I've been unable to find answers:
1. How long can sperm remain frozen without comprising viability?
2. Can ova be frozen and again, for how long without comprising
viability?
3. Finally, one of my students was talking with me about the thawing of

I suspect there are many different aspects to this question. Here is
part of it. Often something will be statistically significant (p<.05) but
its practical effect small. e.g. first born children have higher IQ than
second borns (p<.05) but the practical consequence is small because it i

But how could students post to TIPS without a faculty-member
overseeing the posting?
So I _ASSUMED_ that this was a legitimate posting, approved by some

Dear Tipsters,
John Kulig's post is excellent in distinguishing between different
kinds of significance. I would add that we could distingish three
kinds: statistical in the traditional sense, effect size (e.g., as

I can not cite my sources. The Escher picture of angels/demons is an
example of reversal of figure and ground.
Using the young woman/ugly hag picture to discover if positive image (young
woman) or negative image (old hag) would be reported suggest that it had no
relationship to self esteem.

I'm writing my first solo test this week. I'm planning on making some of
the questions multiple-choice and some short-answer. My question is how
much time should I put aside for the multiple-choice questions? 1 MC per

Right on , Stuart. IMHO, "reliable" is as bad as "significant" when
referring to an effect for which p < .05. Whether an outcome is likely to
be replicated or not is solely a function of power, and most behavioral
research has little power. Given the power in typical psychological
research
