The typical job seeker works 7.4 months. The psychologist finds that the estimated Cohen's d is _____, the t statistic is 2.83, and r^2 is ______. Using Cohen's d and Cohen's guidelines for interpreting the effect size with the estimated Cohen's d, there is a ______ treatment effect. Using r^2 and the extension of Cohen's guidelines for interpreting the effect size using r^2, there is a ______ treatment effect. Another one of the psychologist's findings is that a sample of 81 job seekers who received training on interview skills scored an average of 8.1 as measured on a 9-point job search motivation scale, with a standard deviation of .8. The typical job seeker scores 7.4 points. She finds that the estimated Cohen's d is _____, the t statistic is 7.78, and r^2 is _____ Using Cohen's d and Cohen's guidelines for interpreting the effect size with the estimated Cohen's d, there is a treatment effect.
