Interaction: p-value =  ;Decision:  ---Select--- Reject H0 Fail to reject H0


c) Compute the corresponding effect size(s) andindicate magnitude(s).
Medication: η2=  ;  ---Select--- na trivial effect smalleffect medium effect large effect
Psychotherapy: η2=  ;  ---Select--- na trivial effect smalleffect medium effect large effect
