What you’ll get from this sheet

By the end you should be able to:

  1. Report common tests (t, F, r, χ²) in APA format.
  2. Include effect sizes and exact p-values, not just ‘p < .05’.

APA reporting is a recipe: name the test, give the statistic with its degrees of freedom, an exact p-value, and an effect size — e.g. t(48) = 2.31, p = .025, d = 0.66.
