In the promotion focus model, the predictor chronic promotion focus achieved significance ( B = .12, SE = .06, p = .043) and the chronic promotion state-trait interaction achieved marginal significance ( B = -.16, SE = .09, p = .057; all other | Bs| < .07, all ps > .14).
high time pressure/high cognitive load) and the covariate BIS yielded a marginally significant main effect of situational regulatory focus ( F (1,245) = 2.82, p = .094, η p 2 = .011) and no other effects (all Fs < 1.7, all ps > .20, all η p 2 < .01).
Although the manipulation of regulatory focus in the first experiment did not achieve significance on all manipulation checks, the task framing measure did show a significant effect in line with past conceptualizations of regulatory focus manipulations [ 42 ].
