Effect sizes are indices of practical significance that may be used either in place of, or as a complement to, statistical significance tests, which have historically been emphasized by sociologists as the sine qua non of empirical research. Effect sizes quantify the extent to which sample results diverge from the expectations specified within the null hypothesis. Thus, if sample results exactly correspond to the null hypothesis, the effect size is zero. Effect sizes deviate further from zero as the sample results diverge increasingly from the null hypothesis
