Contexto cultural
In German academic culture, 'Präzision' (precision) is everything. This phrase reflects the shift in modern science from just looking at p-values to understanding the actual magnitude of a phenomenon. It became a standard part of the German scientific vocabulary as empirical social sciences grew in the late 20th century.
The 'd' is silent... sort of
In German, you pronounce 'd' just like the letter 'D' (deh). Don't say 'dee' like in English.
Don't confuse with p-values
Germans are sticklers for logic. If you say 'Effektstärke' but mean 'Signifikanz' (p-value), they will correct you immediately.

What It Means
Imagine you are testing a new study pill. You want to know if it actually works. A p-value tells you if the result was a fluke. But the Effektstärke (effect size) tells you how much it actually helped. In the world of statistics, Jacob Cohen set the rules. A value of d = 0.8 is considered 'large'. It means the change is very noticeable. It is the gold standard for a successful experiment. You are basically saying, 'This thing really makes a difference!'
How To Use It
You will mostly see this in written reports. It often appears in the 'Ergebnisse' (results) section of a paper. You use the verb betragen (to amount to) in the past tense betrug. This is because you are reporting on a study you finished. You can swap the number depending on your data. If your result is 0.2, it is small. If it is 0.5, it is medium. Just drop the number in at the end of the sentence. It sounds very professional and precise.
When To Use It
Use this phrase during your Master's or PhD defense. It shows you have a deep grip on your data. Use it in a high-level business meeting about A/B testing. If you are a data scientist, this is your bread and butter. It is perfect for academic writing in psychology or medicine. Even in a serious debate about social issues, citing an effect size adds massive weight. It moves the conversation from 'I feel' to 'the data shows'.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use this while ordering a Currywurst. The vendor will think you are a confused professor. Avoid it in casual chats with friends about your weekend. Saying 'The effect size of that party was d = 0.8' sounds like a bad joke. It is too clinical for emotional or everyday topics. Unless you are intentionally being a 'Fachidiot' (a nerd who only knows their field), keep it for the lab. It is way too formal for a first date.
Cultural Background
Germany has a massive respect for Wissenschaft (science). Precision is a cultural value here. In German universities, students are trained to be extremely rigorous. Using terms like Effektstärke shows you respect the scientific method. Jacob Cohen was American, but his standards are universal in German academia. German researchers love to quantify everything. This phrase reflects that desire for objective, measurable truth. It is a badge of intellectual competence in the German-speaking world.
Common Variations
You can change the descriptor of the source. Instead of nach Cohen, you might say Cohens d. You can also change the verb. Sometimes people say lag bei (was at) instead of betrug. If the effect is small, you would say Die Effektstärke war gering. If it is huge, you might say Die Effektstärke war substanziell. You can also talk about Korrelationen (correlations) using similar phrasing. The structure remains a pillar of German academic reporting.
Notas de uso
This is a C1-level academic expression. It requires correct use of the Präteritum (betrug) and specific statistical vocabulary. It is strictly for formal or scientific contexts.
The 'd' is silent... sort of

The 'Fachidiot' factor
Using this in a bar might get you labeled a 'Fachidiot'—someone who is brilliant in their field but has zero social skills. Use with caution!
