Table 2.
Independent samples t-test of CBCL and BSI.
Test | Statistic | df | p | Location parameter | SE difference | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
CBCL Total Problem Score | Student | 2.791 | 145 | 0.003 | 6.095 | 2.184 |
CBCL Externalizing Behavior | Student | 2.695 | 145 | 0.004 | 2.731 | 1.013 |
CBCL Internalizing Behavior | Student | 4.868 | 145 | <0.001 | 4.200 | 0.863 |
BSI GSI | Student | 9.926 | 147 | <0.001 | 36.529 | 3.680 |
For all tests, the alternative hypothesis specifies that group EG is greater than group CG. For Student’s t-test, location parameter is given by mean difference. For the Mann–Whitney test, location parameter is given by the Hodges–Lehmann estimate.
CBCL, Child Behavior Checklist; BSI, Brief Symptom Inventory; GSI, Global Severity Index; EG, experimental group; CG, control group.
