The latter effect was however relatively small (d = 0.24) and barely significant (Z = 2.02, p = 0.043), thus we cannot conclude with confidence that anxiety shifted WF.

The main effect of fear (F(1, 24) = 3.78, p = .063, η p 2 = .136) was not significant, but was approaching significance.
Given that the results of Study 4 were trending towards significance, we run Study 5 in which the expected effect size was d = 0.50 and with 90% power and an alpha of 0.05 (two-tailed), the required sample size was estimated to be 35 participants.
