Effect Sizes That Speak for Themselves

In research, effect size (Cohen's d) measures how much change an intervention creates. Here's how Tapping compares.

Understanding Effect Sizes d = 0.2 is small, d = 0.5 is medium, d = 0.8+ is large. Anything over d = 1.0 is considered exceptional in clinical research.
