For the young adults, among the six target traits, the only trait exhibiting a marginally significant difference between KMT and DPP was “provincial appearance.” The mean “provincial appearance” rating score for the KMT candidates’ photos ( M = 3.697, SD = 0.404) was significantly higher than DPP candidates’ photos [ M = 3.472, SD = 0.478, t (28) = 2.589, p = 0.015, Cohen’s d = 0.979].
In addition, researchers have pointed out that a non-significant correlation between the needs for autonomy and prosocial behavior with a negative parameter estimate approaching significance may indicate suppression effects ( Maassen and Bakker, 2001 ; Morgan, 2016 ), which means that although the satisfaction of autonomy needs at school did not directly influence children’s prosocial behavior, it still could influence prosocial behavior through potential mediators ( MacKinnon, 2008 ; Quoidbach et al., 2010 ; Wen and Ye, 2014 ; Morgan, 2016 ).
When controlling for age and sex, problem gambling was statistically significant associated with the number of daily mobile phone calls (df 1, OR 1.33 [1.07–1.65]), the frequency of using the mobile phone for games (df 1, OR 1.57 [1.37–1.80]), with subjective dependence on one's mobile phone (df 1, OR 1.09 [1.01–1.18]), and the association of problem gambling with the number of friends to communicate with during 1 day (df 1, OR 1.37 [0.99–1.99]) was nearly statistically significant.
This difference approached significance for two of the three variables [“Laws limiting privacy and individual freedom in the name of state security are in fact tools of the elite to enslave the population”, F (1, 76) = 3.27; p = 0.074, M control = 4.27, SE = 0.25; M experimental = 3.62, SE = 0.25, η 2 partial = 0.04; and “Some groups are in possession of extremely advanced military technology, whose existence is kept secret.”, F (1, 76) = 3.39, p = 0.069, M control = 4.93, SE = 0.22; M experimental = 4.24, S.E = 0.31, η p a r t i a l 2 = 0.04].
The framing effect may be significant, yet most participants who encountered the negative frame would not have responded as predicted by prospect theory ( Kahneman and Tversky, 1979 ) or other theories of framing, such as the explicated valence account ( Tombu and Mandel, 2015 ; also Wallin et al., 2016 ) or the fuzzy trace account ( Reyna and Brainerd, 1991 ), all of which make the same predictions for the standard ADP (but which diverge in prediction as well as explanation under other task conditions).
