Statistical significance is found in a study, but the effect in reality is very small

Statistical significance is found in a study, but the effect in

reality is very small (i.e.,there was a very minor difference in attitude between men and women). Were theresults meaningful?An independent samples t test was conducted to determine whether differencesexist between men and women on cultural competency scores. The samplesconsisted of 663 women and 650 men taken from a convenience sample of public,private, and non-profit organizations. Each participant was administered aninstrument that measured his or her current levels of cultural competency. The cultural competency score ranges from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating higherlevels of cultural competency. The descriptive statistics indicate women havehigher levels of cultural competency (M = 9.2, SD = 3.2) than men (M = 8.9, SD =2.1). The results were significant t (1311) = 2.0, p <.05, indicating that women are more culturally competent than are men. These results tell us that gender-specific interventions targeted toward men may assist in bolstering cultural competency.
