خلفية ثقافية
G*Power is a free software developed by researchers at the University of Düsseldorf. It has become a global standard in behavioral sciences, making this phrase a staple in German labs. It reflects the German academic emphasis on methodological transparency and statistical rigor.

Using `mittels` instead of `mit` instantly boosts your academic credibility in German. It's a small word that does a lot of heavy lifting for your grade.
Don't forget the asterisk
In German writing, always write `G*Power` with the asterisk. It's the official name, and German professors are very particular about correct software notation.

What It Means
This phrase is the gold standard for German academic writing in social sciences. It tells your reader that your study isn't just a guess. You used a rigorous mathematical tool to decide your sample size. Stichprobengröße is the number of people in your study. Mittels is a fancy way of saying 'using' or 'by means of'. Ermittelt means determined or calculated. Together, they sound incredibly precise and authoritative.
How To Use It
You usually find this in the 'Method' section of a thesis or paper. It almost always uses the passive voice (wurde ... ermittelt). This keeps the focus on the science, not the scientist. If you want to sound like a pro, keep it exactly as it is. Don't try to make it 'flowery'. In German academia, dry and precise is the highest compliment.
When To Use It
Use this when writing your Master's thesis or a doctoral dissertation. It's perfect for research proposals or defending your methodology to a professor. If a colleague asks how you decided to recruit 100 people, dropping this line will end the argument immediately. It shows you understand statistical power and didn't just pick a random number.
When NOT To Use It
Never use this in a casual setting. If you say this at a bar, people will think you've spent too much time in the library. Avoid it when talking to non-academics. They won't know what G*Power is. Also, don't use it if you actually just guessed your sample size. German professors have a sixth sense for 'statistical bluffing'.
Cultural Background
G*Power was actually developed at the Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf. Because it's a 'homegrown' German tool that became a global standard, German universities are very proud of it. Using it is a nod to German precision and the high standards of their psychological and social science departments. It’s part of the 'Ordnung muss sein' (there must be order) mentality applied to data.
Common Variations
You might see berechnet (calculated) instead of ermittelt. Some people use anhand von (based on) instead of mittels. You could also say: Die Power-Analyse wurde mit G*Power durchgeführt (The power analysis was conducted with G*Power). All of these carry the same 'nerdy but professional' energy.
ملاحظات الاستخدام
This is a C1-level academic expression. It requires a high level of register awareness. Use it only in scientific contexts or when deliberately trying to sound like a researcher.
The 'Mittels' Magic
Using `mittels` instead of `mit` instantly boosts your academic credibility in German. It's a small word that does a lot of heavy lifting for your grade.
Don't forget the asterisk

Düsseldorf Pride
If you're studying in Düsseldorf, mentioning G*Power is like mentioning a local hero. The software was born there!
