Mean Comparisons

Interpreting the Mean Comparisons Report
Sample
The Mean Comparisons report is based on information from all randomly selected students
for both your institution and your comparison institutions. Targeted oversamples and other
non-randomly selected students are not included in this report.
Variables
The items from the NSSE survey appear in the left column in the same order and wording as
they appear on the instrument. The name of each variable appears in the second column for
easy reference to your data file and the summary statistics at the end of this section. Response
options are also provided to help you interpret the statistics.
Benchmark
Items that make up the five “Benchmarks of Effective
Educational Practice” are indicated by the following:
LAC=Level of Academic
Challenge
ACL=Active and
Collaborative Learning
SFI=Student-Faculty
Interaction
EEE=Enriching Educational
Experiences
SCE=Supportive Campus
Environment
Mean
The mean is the weighted
arithmetic average of student
responses on a particular item.
Means are provided for your
institution and all comparison
groups. For more information
about weighting go to:
www.nsse.iub.edu/2009_Institutional_Report/NSSE_2009_Weighting.cfm.
Class
Results are reported separately for first-year students (FY) and seniors (SR).
Institution-reported class ranks are used.
Statistical Significance
Items with mean differences that are larger than would be expected by chance
alone are noted with one, two, or three asterisks, referring to three significance
levels (p<.05, p< .01, and p<.001). The smaller the significance level, the
smaller the likelihood that the difference is due to chance. Statistical
significance does not guarantee the result is substantive or important. Large
sample sizes (like those produced by NSSE) tend to generate more statistically
significant results even though the magnitude of mean differences may be
inconsequential. It is recommended to consult effect sizes (see below) to
judge the practical meaning of the results.
Effect Size
Effect size indicates the
“practical significance” of
the mean difference. It is
calculated by dividing the
mean difference by the
pooled standard deviation.
In practice, an effect size of
.2 is often considered small,
.5 moderate, and .8 large. A
positive sign indicates that
your institution's mean was
greater, thus showing an
affirmative result for your
institution. A negative sign
indicates the institution lags
behind the comparison
group, suggesting that the
student behavior or
institutional practice represented by the item may warrant attention. An exception to this
interpretation is the “coming to class unprepared” item (item 1f.) where a negative sign is
preferred (i.e., meaning fewer students reporting coming to class unprepared).

All statistics are weighted by gender, enrollment status, and institutional size.
b
The 95% confidence interval for the population mean is equal to the sample mean plus/minus the product of 1.96 times the standard error of the mean.
c
A measure of the average amount individual scores deviate from the mean of all the scores in the distribution.
d
Degrees of freedom used to compute the t-tests. Values differ from the total Ns due to weighting and the equal variances assumption.
e
Statistical significance represents the probability that the difference between the mean of your institution and that of the comparison group occurred by chance.
f
Effect size is calculated by subtracting the comparison group mean from the school mean, and dividing the result by the pooled standard deviation.

a
All statistics are weighted by gender, enrollment status, and institutional size.
b
The 95% confidence interval for the population mean is equal to the sample mean plus/minus the product of 1.96 times the standard error of the mean.
c
A measure of the average amount individual scores deviate from the mean of all the scores in the distribution.
d
Degrees of freedom used to compute the t-tests. Values differ from the total Ns due to weighting and the equal variances assumption.
e
Statistical significance represents the probability that the difference between the mean of your institution and that of the comparison group occurred by chance.
f
Effect size is calculated by subtracting the comparison group mean from the school mean, and dividing the result by the pooled standard deviation.

Frequency Distributions
August 2009
Interpreting the Frequency Distributions Report
Sample
The Frequency Distributions report is based on information from all randomly selected
students for both your institution and your comparison institutions. Targeted oversamples and
other non-randomly selected students are not included in this report.
Variables
The items from the NSSE survey appear in the left column in the same order and wording as
they appear on the instrument.
Variable Names
The name of each variable appears in the first column for easy reference to your raw data file
and the Mean Comparisons report.
Benchmark
Items that comprise the five “Benchmarks of Effective Educational Practice” are indicated by
the following:
LAC=Level of Academic
Challenge
ACL=Active and
Collaborative Learning
SFI=Student-Faculty
Interaction
EEE=Enriching Educational
Experiences
SCE=Supportive Campus
Environment
Response Options
Response options listed just as
they appear on the instrument.
Weighting
Weights adjusting for gender, enrollment status, and institutional size are
applied to the percentage column (%) of this report. Weights are computed
separately for first-year students and seniors. Weighted results present a more
accurate representation of your institution and comparison group students.
Only the column percents are weighted. The counts are the actual number of
respondents. Because the counts are unweighted and the column percentages
are weighted, you will not be able to calculate the column percent directly
from the count numbers. For more information about weighting, please visit
the NSSE Web site at
www.nsse.iub.edu/2009_Institutional_Report/NSSE_2009_Weighting.cfm.
Class
Frequency distributions are reported separately for first-year students and
seniors. Institution-reported class ranks are used.
Count
The Count column
represents the actual
number of students who
responded to the particular
option in each question.
Counts are unweighted.
Column Percentage (%)
This column represents the
weighted percentage of
students responding to the
particular option in each
question.
