Why has my Yahoo main page stopped showing me when I have messages I have not seen in my Mailbox?
You know that little window over to the right where you can see your mail and messenger and horoscopes and that kind of bunk? It would tell me how many mails had come in since I last looked in the mailbox. It ceased doing this job about 1-2 weeks ago maybe. WHY?
4 AnswersNotices and Errors1 decade agoCan someone provide a valid definition or explanation of the concept "significant main effect"?...?
I am not a lazy student or an inept practitioner, but I have to read a lot of social science literature and keep running across this phrase. I am long out of school and this didn't come up in my required psych course. I have not been able to find a clear explanation of how a "significant main effect" is established or supported by data. From context I have begun to get the feeling that researchers report a significant main effect when none of the tested hypothesis are supported ... ( I know that sounds cynical - but it is just an impression) and I still don't know where is comes from statistically or in relation to the study design. Can anyone explain, especially anyone with some credentials or a cited source?
