COM Research Seminar: Statistical Power in Experimental Communication Science: An Assessment of Two Decades’ Research (2001-2020)

07 Nov 2022 (Mon)

Dr. SUN Ye presented her recent study, "Statistical Power in Experimental Communication Science: An Assessment of Two Decades' Research (2001-2020)", at the department's Research Seminar on November 7, 2022. She shared a recent assessment of experimental communication research published in five central communication journals over the last two decades. The findings showed experimental communication researchers' failing performance in statistical power and the importance of using prospective power analysis in future research. Many faculty and students joined this hybrid mode seminar and had a lively discussion on the main topic.
