I would bet that it is Cohen's d... The difference between the means is approximately .59.  The pooled standard deviation is a little less than 1.00, so the ratio is approximately .6 or so..

Subject: ANOVA Statistical Significance, where does "d" value come from?

5 months into learning SPSS / Statistics and need a hopefully quick primer on one statistic from ANOVA.

I am duplicating a report from last year, which worked great for this year's data. SPSS ran great and I got the output I expected, but need help in interpreting last year's report.

ANOVA output from last year is

Fall CALC1  grades
                  N Mean        Std. Deviation
Class of 2020 125 2.0720 1.01740
Class of 2021 149 2.6644  .96989
Total                274 2.3942 1.03320


Fall CALC1 grades
                         SS        df Mean Square F Sig.
Between Groups 23.857 1 23.857 24.252 .000 ***
Within Groups 267.573 272 .984
Total                291.431 273

*** The footnote on this data says "There is a statistically significant and moderately sized (d = .60) difference in Calculus I grades between 2020 and 2021. "

My question is where do you get "d = .60" (because I don't see it anywhere). If I can find that, at least I'll have a reference for the comment, then I'll study ANOVA myself and post questions as needed.

(The statistician who did last year's report is nowhere to be found ...)
