Abstract: 

A brief narrative description of the journal article, document, or resource. Analyzed 150 articles from the "Journal of Applied Psychology" (JAP) from 1940 to 1999 to determine statistical reporting practices related to null hypothesis significance testing, American Psychological Association guidelines, and reform recommendations. Findings show little evidence that decades of cogent criticisms by reformers have resulted in changes in statistical reporting practices in JAP
