STDS 3.165 −1.058 −0.637 −0.998 −1.083
ETSSD 1.093 −0.342 −0.170 −0.245 −0.325

Note. STDS = Signed Test Difference in the Sample; ETSSD = Expected Test Score Standardized Difference. STDS represents the expected difference between the two groups in terms of the sum score for the scale. The ETSSD provides a similar measure rescaled so that it is on the same metric as Cohen’s d.
