Abstract
The impressive 1997 edited volume What If There Were No Significance Tests? is reviewed. The book is applauded for its comprehensive consideration of the pros and cons of statistical hypothesis testing (and alternatives) in psychological and educational research. The highlights of each chapter are summarized along with each contributor's presumed stance on the focal to-test-or-not-to-test question. Also included is the reviewer's personal set of recommendations for transforming statistical hypothesis testing, as it is currently practiced, into an intelligent process that is capable of yielding more informative scientific retums.
