This document provides guidance on reporting the results of a Phi-Coefficient test in APA style. It describes analyzing whether there is a non-random pattern between on-time graduation (no=1 and yes=2) and gender (male=1 and female=2). The general template is to state the main finding, include the Phi-Coefficient value (f), and report the p-value. For example, "Based on the results of the study, males are less likely to graduate on time than females f = .82, p < .05."

7. • Problem:
We analyzed whether there was bias (non-random pattern) in
on-time graduation (no=1 and yes =2) according to gender
(male=1 and female=2)

8. • Problem:
We analyzed whether there was bias (non-random pattern) in
on-time graduation (no=1 and yes =2) according to gender
(male=1 and female=2)
• Here is one general template for reporting a Phi-
Coefficient:
