Fair Prediction with Disparate Impact: A Study of Bias in Recidivism Prediction Instruments (2016, background): “The % non-overlap of two distributions is generally calculated assuming both distributions are normal, and thus has a one-to-one correspondence to Cohen’s d [12].”
Changes in Parent Involvement Across the Transition from Public School Prekindergarten to First Grade and Children's Academic Outcomes (2012, methodology): “We used Cohen’s (1988) guidelines to interpret effect sizes (.”
Effect Size Guidelines, Sample Size Calculations, and Statistical Power in Gerontology (2019, methodology): “Cohen (1988, 1992) provided guidelines for the interpretation of these values: values of 0.20, 0.50, and 0.80 for Cohen’s d and Hedges’ g are commonly considered to be indicative of small, medium, and large effects Translational Significance: This study examines statistical power (the probability…”
Relationship between Achievement and Students' Acceptance of Evolution or Creation in an Upper-Level Evolution Course. (2006, methodology): “Effect size of the raw gain was calculated using Cohen’s d (Cohen, 1988); an effect size of 0.5 is generally considered to indicate a medium effect.”
Attentional and Executive Function Behaviours in Children with Poor Working Memory. (2008, background): “Effect sizes of .20 are considered small, .50 medium, and .80 large in magnitude (Cohen, 1988).”
Linking proactive personality and the Big Five to motivation to learn and development activity. (2006, background): “Table 4 includes observed parameter estimates, their standard errors, and standardized parameter estimates as well as the 95% confidence intervals for the standardized estimates and the individual effect size, f 2 (Cohen, 1988).”

Does Playing Violent Video Games Induce Aggression? Empirical Evidence of a Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study (2006, methodology): “The translation into Cohen’s (1988) effect size measures results in d = 0.3 (dACC), d = 0.92 (rACC), and d = 0.70 (amygdala). According to Dunlop, Cortina, Vaslow, and Burke (1996) original standard deviations were used to calculate the effect sizes rather than paired t-test value or the within-subj”
The Effects of Hot Spots Policing on Crime: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (2014, methodology): “We used the standardized mean difference effect size (also known as Cohen’s d; see Cohen, 1988) and employed the Effect Size Calculator, developed by David B. Wilson and available on the Campbell Collaboration’s website, to calculate standardized mean difference effect sizes for reported outcomes…”
