Abstract

The use of Rosenthal's Binomial Effect Size Display (BESD) as a tool for reporting the magnitude of effect sizes to the evaluation audience is discussed. The authors give an overview of the BESD, describe how it is calculated, and present a review of its strengths and weaknesses. Additionally, suggestions for the appropriate use of the BESD are given. An effect size to BESD conversion table is included. Accessed 34,142 times on https://pareonline.net from September 02, 2005 to December 31, 2019.
