NSSE 2013 Frequencies and Statistical Comparisons
Interpreting Your Report
The display below highlights details in the Frequencies and Statistical Comparisons report that are important to keep in mind when interpreting your results. For more information about the sampling technique, weighting,
engagement indicators, and the survey properties, please visit our Web site (nsse.iub.edu) or contact a member of the NSSE team.
1.
The Frequencies and Statistical Comparisons report is based on
information from all randomly selected or census-administered
students for both your institution and your comparison
institutions. Targeted and locally administered oversamples and
other non-randomly selected students are not included.

Class: As reported by your institution.

Item numbers: Item numbering corresponds to the survey

the NSSE Web site.

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.

Values and response options: Values are used to calculate
means. Response options are listed as they appear on the
instrument.
9.
6.
Count and column percentage (%): The Count column
contains the number of students who selected the corresponding
response option. The column percentage is the weighted
percentage of students selecting the corresponding response
option. Counts are unweighted and cannot be used to replicate
column percentages.
7.
Weighting: Column percentages and statistics are weighted by
gender and enrollment status. Comparison group statistics are
also weighted by institutional size. Counts are unweighted. For
more details visit: nsse.iub.edu/html/weighting.cfm
8.
Mean: The mean is the weighted arithmetic average of student
responses on a particular item.
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 below) to judge the
practical meaning of the results. Unless otherwise noted, statistical comparisons are two-tailed independent t-tests. Exceptions are items 11 af which are compared using a z-test.
10. Effect size: Effect size indicates practical significance. In practice, 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 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.

NSSE 2013 Frequencies and Statistical Comparisons
St. Cloud State University
Endnotes
a. Column percentages are weighted by gender and enrollment status (and institution size for comparison groups). Percentages may not sum to 100 due to rounding. Counts are unweighted; column percentages cannot be
replicated from counts.
b. All statistics are weighted by gender and enrollment status (and institution size for comparison groups). 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 and 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. Statistics are weighted by gender and enrollment status (and institution size for comparison groups).
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 weighting and 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.”
