Hola!
¿A qué se refiere y qué significa un "tamaño de efecto"? en el siguiente contexto "se demuestra una fuerte relación entre estas variables (apoyo social y adherencia al tratamiento), con diferencias de tamaño de efecto de 0,65 entre pacientes que reciben y no reciben apoyo para sus tratamientos".
¿Alguna sugerencia?
Muchas gracias!

effect size
I'm pretty sure this is comparing the difference in values between two effect sizes (Which is the measure of the strength of correlation between two variables) Here are a couple references:

: The two terms are very close in meaning. I'd still be curious to see how you would translate the entire sentence (see my rendition in my answer below). I couldn't find a parallel rendition in the link you cited.

Check out the additional reference I posted, since effect size is a stastical term, I would say it just like it is said on this link

: Effect size is the only correct translation here. This is a fixed, standard,
"frozen", and correct term used in statistics. It may feel like it's misleading, or a misnomer, but this is what each and every ** good ** authoritative statistics textbook uses
