The basic handout I use in our research methods class is online at http://core.ecu.edu/psyc/wuenschk/docs2210/Strength_of_Effect.doc .
 
    I find that the idea of d (standardized difference between means) is made more meaningful by relating it to the common language effect size statistic, which, for two-group designs, is the probability that a randomly selected score from the one population will be greater than a randomly sampled score from the other distribution.  See http://core.ecu.edu/psyc/wuenschk/docs30/CL.doc .
 
Cheers,
