Time distortion also had a partially significant effect (β = -.233, p = .054).

Due to the small sample size, we decided to highlight marginally significant effects (p < .10) when reporting the regression results [ 65 ].

a significant trendno p-value reported

We think that marginally significant regression results deserve mentioning, since our analyses are of explorative nature and no other study exists on the relationship between trace smartphone use and PSU in adolescence, thus we cannot ignore a significant trend which can be informative for future research.
