In addition, the Time x Condition x Start Condition interaction approached significance ( F (1, 20) = 4.27, p = 0.052, η p 2 = 0.176).
In addition, the Time x Condition x Start Condition interaction approached significance ( F (1, 20) = 4.27, p = 0.052, η p 2 = 0.176).
For ABT scores, the Condition main effect was almost significant ( F (1, 18) = 4.14, p = 0.057, η p 2 = 0.187), while the Condition x Start Condition interaction was significant ( F (1, 18) = 5.57, p = 0.03, η p 2 = 0.236).
A main effect for Group was marginally significant ( F (1, 10 = 4.54, p = 0.059, η p 2 = 0.312), suggesting that parent scores were greater ( M = 3.43; SD = 1.038) than those of teachers ( M = 2.68; SD = 0.836) and had a more positive perception about readers ease for selecting books.
For the dog condition, there was a significant main effect of Time ( F (1, 18) = 7.22, p = 0.015, η p 2 = 0.286), and the Start Condition main effect almost reached significance ( F (1, 18) = 4.01, p = 0.06, η p 2 = 0.182), as did the Time x Start Condition interaction ( F (1, 18) = 4.02, p = 0.06, η p 2 = 0.182).
An interaction effect between Time x Condition was borderline significant ( F (1, 18) = 3.79, p = 0.067, η p 2 = 0.174).
However, the marginal interaction effect showed that RCL gains in the dog condition were almost significantly greater than those in the adult condition (see Fig. 3 ).
