Table A.33. Comparison of Simulation and Control Samples on EQ-i 2.0 Positive Impression and Negative Impression Scale Scores
The following table provides the means and standard deviations for the control and simulation (i.e., fake good/fake bad) groups for the EQ-i 2.0 Positive Impression (PI) and Negative Impression (NI) scales. F and p values provide statistical significance tests for the difference between groups. d values provide an effect size for evaluating differences as small, medium, or large. The validity of the PI and NI scales is supported by the meaningfully higher scores (i.e., d ≥ .20) found in the simulation group relative to the control group.
Response Style Scale |
Control Group | Simulation | F (1, 194) | p | d | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M | SD | M | SD | ||||
| Positive Impression | 0.2 | 0.9 | 0.6 | 0.9 | 9.36 | .003 | 0.61 |
| Negative Impression | 0.2 | 1.3 | 1.2 | 1.3 | 31.69 | < .001 | 1.12 |
Note. N = 100 for each group. Positive Cohen's d values represent higher means in simulation samples. Guidelines for evaluating |d| are .20 = small, .50 = medium, .80 = large.
