Thus, four types of common statistical errors in behavioral research, namely misuse of null hypothesis, false report of p value, not reporting the volume impact, and inflation of Type I error have been conceptually studied. Additionally, methodological and practical considerations of the aforementioned errors have been discussed in detail.
