May I suggest that there are four sides?
1. Inferential statistic (r, T, F, chi square etc): depends on the
kind of data we have
2. p: tells us whether we can reject H0 (there is a relationship not
due to sampling error)
3. ES: reflects the size of the effect (small, medium, large)
4. Control of independent and confounding variables tells us about
the attribution of causality.
