Abstract

Statistical significance testing has been the subject of considerable dialogue in the past and present methodology literature. Furthermore, the dialogue has become increasingly fervent in recent years, as evidenced by the commissioning of an APA Task Force to review the usefulness of hypothesis testing. The present article addresses the state of the art regarding the use of statistical significance tests (SSTs) and effect sizes. How social science research will be conducted in the future is directly impacted by current debates regarding hypothesis testing and effect size interpretation. This article (a) briefly explicates the current debate regarding hypothesis testing, (b) reviews the recently published APA Task Force on Statistical Inference's report, (c) examines current trends concerning reporting practices in journals, and (d) presents recommendations for researchers to advance scientific inquiry in the social sciences.
