Abstract

Abstract Null hypothesis statistical testing (NHST) in its present form continues to be the predominant method of quantitative research. Bayesian methods, which emphasize the probability of a hypothesis given the data, may be growing in popularity due to the advent of statistical software employing these methods. Rather than discarding the present methods of NHST, the purpose of this article is to enhance understanding of NHST for counseling researchers and provide an augmentation to presenting results that address the known limitations of counseling research and other social science research. Such recommendations include summarizing previous recommendations of employing visuals to explain data, incorporating effect size confidence intervals, and utilizing the Bayes factor bound to supplement p-values and explain the probabilities related to acceptance or rejection of the null hypothesis.

通过贝叶斯因子界和效应大小精度的报告解决心理咨询研究中p的局限性

目前形式的零假设统计检验(NHST)仍然是定量研究的主要方法。贝叶斯方法强调给定数据的假设的概率，由于采用这些方法的统计软件的出现，贝叶斯方法可能越来越受欢迎。本文的目的不是抛弃现有的NHST方法，而是增强咨询研究人员对NHST的理解，并提供一个增强的结果，以解决咨询研究和其他社会科学研究的已知局限性。这些建议包括总结以前的建议，使用视觉来解释数据，纳入效应大小置信区间，并利用贝叶斯因子绑定来补充p值，并解释与接受或拒绝零假设相关的概率。

期刊介绍： Counseling Outcome Research and Evaluation (CORE) provides counselor educators, researchers, educators, and other mental health practitioners with outcome research and program evaluation practices for work with individuals across the lifespan. It addresses topics such as: treatment efficacy, clinical diagnosis, program evaluation, research design, outcome measure reviews. This journal also serves to address ethical, legal, and cultural concerns in the assessment of dependent variables, implementation of clinical interventions, and outcome research. Manuscripts typically fall into one of the following categories: Counseling Outcome Research: Treatment efficacy and effectiveness of mental health, school, addictions, rehabilitation, family, and college counseling interventions across the lifespan as reported in clinical trials, single-case research designs, single-group designs, and multi- or mixed-method designs.
