The following [attachment:effconvert.xls spreadsheet] by Jamie DeCoster converts a single effect size, such as Cohen's d, to several others including Odds Ratios using references mentioned in the spreadsheet. One could also convert a partial eta-squared to a Cohen's d by regarding the partial eta-squared as a squared correlation. It follows square rooting the partial eta-squared and entering it in Jamie's spreadsheet as a r will then allow you to read off the Cohen's d.

Computing effect sizes
Cohen's d which is used for t-tests may be computed with a calculator or using free PC downloadable software. This can also be calculated in EXCEL (see here).
SPSS computes partial eta-squared, $$\mbox{Partial } \eta^text{2}$$, on request using ANOVAs. If using General Linear Model>univariate or General Linear Model>Repeated Measures click options and select Estimates of Effect Size. An extra column in the outputted anova tables is produced showing partial eta-squareds of terms in the anova table. Partial eta-squared represents the proportion of variance not attributable to any of the other observed factors which is explained by the factor of interest.
For anovas, an alternative value Eta-squared $$\eta^text{2}$$, can also be calculated. This value is defined as the sum of squares for a particular effect divided by the total of all the sums of squares of effects in the analysis of variance table. It is suggested, however, that partial eta-squared be used for repeated measures analysis of variance and eta-squared for between subjects anovas (which feature just one error term in the anova). Field(2005) advocates only using effect sizes when comparing a difference between two groups in repeated measures anova.
An EXCEL spreadsheet calculator computes the one sample chi-square effect size measure, $$\omega$$.
- The Pearson correlation is, itself, an effect size.
Field (2005)(pp. 222-223) suggests evaluating a correlation based upon output from a logistic regression. This is based upon the Wald statistic which can give misleading results.
Field also suggests a nonparametric effect size for comparing two groups (see here).
