NSSE 2015 Frequencies and Statistical Comparisons
About This Report
The Frequencies and Statistical Comparisons report presents item-by-item student responses and statistical comparisons that allow you to examine patterns of similarity and difference between your students and those at your
comparison group institutions. The report uses information from all randomly selected or census-administered students. The display below highlights important details in the report to keep in mind when interpreting your
results. For more information please visit our website (nsse.indiana.edu) or contact a member of the NSSE team.
1.
Class level: As reported by your institution.
2.
Item numbers: Numbering corresponds to the survey
facsimile included in your Institutional Report and available
on the NSSE website.
3.
1
Item wording and variable names: Survey items are in the
same order and wording as they appear on the instrument.
Variable names are included for easy reference to your data
file and codebook.
4.
Values and response options: Values are used to calculate means.
Response options are worded as they appear on the instrument.
5.
Count and column percentage (%): The Count column contains the
number of students who selected the corresponding response option. The
column percentage is the percentage of students selecting the corresponding
response option.

Note: Due to nonstandard sampling or response issues, all results in this
report are unweighted.
6.
Statistical comparisons: Items with mean differences that are
larger than would be expected by chance are noted with asterisks
referring to three significance levels (*p < .05, **p < .01, ***p < .001).
Significance levels indicate the probability that an observed
difference is due to chance. Statistical significance does not
guarantee the result is substantive or important. Large sample sizes
tend to generate more statistically significant results even
though the magnitude of mean differences may be inconsequential.
Consult effect sizes (see #7) to judge the practical meaning of differences.
Unless otherwise noted, statistical comparisons are two-tailed
independent t -tests. Exceptions are items 11 a-f which are compared
using a z -test.

7.
Effect size: Effect size indicates practical significance. An effect size of .2 is often considered small, .5 moderate, and .8 large. A
positive effect size indicates that your institution’s mean was greater than that of the comparison group, thus showing a favorable result
for your institution. A negative effect size indicates your institution lags behind the comparison group, suggesting that the student
behavior or institutional practice represented by the item may warrant attention. Effect sizes for independent t -tests use Cohen's d; z tests use Cohen's h . Cohen's d is calculated by dividing the mean difference by the pooled standard deviation. Cohen's h is calculated
by taking the difference in the proportion of students who responded “Done or in progress” after the proportion has been transformed
using a non-linear (arcsine) transformation. See: Cohen, J. (1988). Statistical power analysis for the behavioral sciences (2nd
edition). New York: Psychology Press.
8.
Key to symbols:
▲ Your students’ average was significantly higher (p < .05) with an effect size at least .3 in magnitude.
△ Your students’ average was significantly higher (p < .05) with an effect size less than .3 in magnitude.
▽ Your students’ average was significantly lower (p < .05) with an effect size less than .3 in magnitude.
▼ Your students’ average was significantly lower (p < .05) with an effect size at least .3 in magnitude.
Note: It is important to interpret the direction of differences relative to item wording and your institutional context.

NSSE 2015 Frequencies and Statistical Comparisons
Winston-Salem State University
Endnotes
a. Due to nonstandard sampling or response issues, all counts and percentages are unweighted. Percentages may not sum to 100 due to rounding.
b. Due to nonstandard sampling or response issues, all statistics are unweighted. Means calculated from ordered response options (e.g., Very often, Often, Sometimes, Never) assume equal intervals and should be interpreted
with caution. Unless otherwise noted, statistical comparisons are two-tailed independent t -tests. Exceptions are the dichotomous High-Impact Practice items (11a to 11f) which are compared using a z -test.
c. Items which make up the Engagement Indicators include the following two-letter prefixes: CL = Collaborative Learning, DD = Discussions with Diverse Others, ET = Effective Teaching Practices, HO = Higher-Order
Learning, LS = Learning Strategies, QI = Quality of Interactions, QR = Quantitative Reasoning, RI = Reflective & Integrative Learning, SE = Supportive Environment, and SF = Student-Faculty Interaction.
d. These are the values used to calculate means. For the majority of items, these values match the codes in the data file and codebook. For items estimating number of papers and hours per week, the values represent actual
units using the midpoints of response option ranges and an estimate for unbounded options.
e. Effect size for independent t -tests uses Cohen's d; z -tests use Cohen's h. See page 2 for more details.
f.
Statistical comparison uses z -test to compare the percentage who responded "Done or in progress."
g. Due to nonstandard sampling or response issues, all statistics are unweighted.
h. Standard error of the mean for ordered and continuous variables; standard error of the proportion for items indicating “Done or in progress” (High-Impact Practices). The 95% confidence interval is equal to the sample mean
plus or minus 1.96 times the standard error of the mean.
i.
A measure of the amount individual scores deviate from the mean of all the scores in the distribution.
j.
Degrees of freedom used to compute the t -tests. Values differ from Ns due to whether equal variances were assumed.
k. Statistical comparisons are two-tailed independent t -tests or z -tests. Statistical significance represents the probability that the difference between your students' mean and that of the comparison group is due to chance.
l.
Mean represents the proportion who responded “Done or in progress.”
