failed to reach significancep = 0.078
Although the difference failed to reach significance in our comparatively small sample size (F(4, 72) = 2.2 p = 0.078) post-hoc tests revealed significant mean differences between the NK cell counts in low and high ego depletion group at session 1(p = .022) and also at session 3 (p = .022), indicating that an interaction trend we found for NK cell counts and ego depletion is not solely due to the baseline differences at session 1.
