Effects size statistic and how to interpret it
My question is how to interpret Effects Size statistics - eta squared - JASP application
Data Set very large >22,000 data observations
Am told in the literature that the p-values will be very small and useless.
I have looked at a dozen publications on Effect Sizes, why to use, why not to use this or that one
So I reran my AVOVA in JASP with eta squared, got some numbers and have NO idea how to interpret.
The first data set is a subset of the second dataset, BTW.
Here are two printouts. Any help or suggestions would be wonderful.
Stay safe, stay healthy, wear a mask.

Here is an interesting reveiw that may be helpful

Good luck
Hi JDeBeer,
You've also corresponded about this issue on our GitHub page, right? In general, I'd say that it is always a good idea to plot the data -- perhaps even the raw data, and/or means with CIs.

thanks, yes I have asked the question multiple places. Sorry of that is wrong.
Trying to understand eta squared, omega squared and cohen's d, and what to report.
I now understand how to report Cohen's d and omega squared, but have NO idea of the importance of eta squared.
The numbers for Cohen's d effect size seem to be well published but the only thing I have found for omega sq, is from page 184 of Keppel et al, "Intro to design and analysis" where they offer this, from Cohen 1988, a book. "a small effect is omega sqr 0.01, medium is 0.06, and large effect is 0.15 or greater. it is a real struggle to understand this, I am retired, and not in school so no professor to ask. And I am only reading free pdf papers.
Not the place for a suggestion, but maybe it would be good to add these kind of interpretations to the raw statistic in JASP, which BTW I like very much. Very very helpful for a paper we are writing.
thanks

Hi JDB,
Asking the same question on different fora is a good idea! I have never really looked into the interpretation of eta-squared. I know that some people like to convert all effect sizes to r; if that's legit and possible for eta-squared, it could help. But it seems that the more complicated design, the more options there exist for effect size. And I am not sure people really care about it (in addition to what the eye can pick up from a plot of the descriptive results).
