Abstract

In addition to statistical validation of an intervention in the context of experimental and quasi-experimental designs for hypothesis testing, the practical relevance of an intervention plays a major role. Practical relevance is considered a measure of an experimental effect with respect to various practical issues. Cohen's effect size has become the standard for assessment. However, empirical studies show that effect sizes should not be interpreted statically, but rather dynamically. Furthermore, it seems that prior experience, the target group, the way questions are posed and the context of the study influence the outcome. In the future, in addition to statistical validation, greater consideration should be given to effect sizes to allow a qualitative assessment of a measure's practical relevance. However, the applicable study context and theoretical criteria of the respective research domains must be taken into account. Verf.-Referat
