Does anyone know a simple way of calculating effect sizes?

Thanks

Yes - the following formula is simple and fairly universal:

For ANOVA one option is the partial eta squared \eta^2_p:

\eta^2_p=SSeffect/(SSeffect+SSerror)

For multiple regression (continuous predictors) you might use the
standardized parameter estimate, the regression coefficient you obtain
standardizing the predictor: the larger the absolute value, the larger the
size of the effect.

You might take a look at:

S. Olejnik and J. Algina, (2003), Generalized eta and omega squared
statistics: measures of effect size for some common research designs,
Psychol Methods. 8(4):434-47.

and, if you have repeated measures:

R. Bakeman (2005), Recommended effect size statistics for repeated measures
designs, Behavior Research Methods, 37 (3), 379-384.

I understand, that eta^2 presents a useful measure of effect sizes.

However, the power-calculation-tool G*Power I intend to use, requires an
"Effect size f" which is calculated like this: "Variance
explained by
special effect" / "Variance explained by special effect" +
"Variance within
groups"

I run a within-subject design with 3 experimental conditions and a certain
number of subjects. RTs are usually aggregated within the design cells, but
not necessarily.

Which Sum of Suqare in the aov()-procedure do I have to use to compute this
"Effect size f" properly?
and a related question:
Is it in any way meaningful to standardize the expected effect (eg. 20 ms
difference between experimental conditions) with the variance of a
represenative distribution (eg. of reaction times within one design-cell,
eg. 200ms sd) to retrive some measure of effect size (eg. 0.1)?

Sincerly!
Henning
