I understand, that eta^2 presents a useful measure of effect sizes. However, the power-calculation-tool G*Power I intend to use, requires an "Effect size f" which is calculated like this: "Variance explained by special effect" / "Variance explained by special effect" + "Variance within groups"
I run a within-subject design with 3 experimental conditions and a certain number of subjects. RTs are usually aggregated within the design cells, but not necessarily. Which Sum of Suqare in the aov()-procedure do I have to use to compute this "Effect size f" properly? and a related question: Is it in any way meaningful to standardize the expected effect (eg. 20 ms difference between experimental conditions) with the variance of a represenative distribution (eg. of reaction times within one design-cell, eg. 200ms sd) to retrive some measure of effect size (eg. 0.1)?
