Excerpts

There is a marginal trend for boys, but it did not reach significance at the 0.05 level for a two-tailed test ( p = 0.076).

The two-way interaction model showed a marginally significant relationship only for the Mother-Daughter dyad that indicated the lower daughters' math anxiety, the higher their math behavioral intentions particularly if their mothers had lower math anxiety (β = 0.251, p = 0.054, see Figure 3 ), providing some support for Hypotheses 2 and 3a.

The c ′ path was barely significant at the 0.05 level in the unstandardized solution (unstandardized c ′ estimate = 0.08 [95% CI: 0.004, 0.14]) and non-significant in the standardized solution (standardized c ′ estimate = 0.18, [95% CI: -0.05, 0.40]).

The three dimensions and philosophical orientations Each philosophical orientation log ratio had a highly significant effect on the dimensions of the KLSI as a whole according to the MANCOVA model global tests (Pillai's trace, Hotelling's trace, and Wilk's Lambda yielded identical results).

Against this background, a slight trend for DOM of definite determiners can be inferred.

However, the near-significant change on the socio-practical domain of the ASOR-5 questionnaire for the uninformed condition combined with a large ES indicates that the instructions at randomization worked (since this near-significant difference may reflect differing attitudes based on the information given about the robot).

In Experiment 1 the space-pitch congruity effect was highly significant for the low-pitch trials, and the magnitude of this effect did not differ from magnitude of the effect found in high-pitch trials.

Finally, both language task and target language were added to the base model as predictors and the results were highly significant. χ 2 -tests showed that the model of best fit used language task and target language as predictors.

Meta-analysis results for reading fluency Random effects analysis on the five studies that included Reading Fluency outcomes showed a weighted average effect size of 0.16 (95% CI [−0.03, 0.35], p = 0.10), thus showing only a weak trend toward significance of music intervention on reading fluency.

We observed a marginally significant effect of duration, with FA_CLI sentences tending to have somewhat shorter first syllables than FA_AMB sentences (about 10 ms).

The bilingual group was more likely to give a correct response (84% correct answers) than the monolingual group (77% correct answers), however, this was only marginally significant.

Highly significant chi-square statistics, RMSEA values of more than 0.05, and CFI values of less than 0.90 all indicate that the CFA and EFA models for females and males fit the data poorly.

Of note, other researchers have followed marginally significant interactions with planned comparisons in PWI studies and offered discussions about why higher order interactions are particularly difficult to detect (e.g., Starreveld and La Heij, 1995 ; Damian and Martin, 1999 ).

[CGS-A] As in the previous section, an intrinsic-extrinsic difference was apparent across the categories.

However, because we did not assess individuals’ actual behaviors, this almost significant result remains to be tested further via additional experiments that directly measure behavior.

In addition, the correlation with emotional cravings was of higher magnitude in males than in females, while the correlation with emotional behavior in males was higher than in females, albeit falling just outside significance.

The Levene test statistic (15.17, p < 0.001) indicated unequal variances across groups, but the robust Welch test for equality of means (16.68, p < 0.001) still showed highly significant group differences.

Regarding the ECBI scores, the last three scores during the PDI phase fall out of the clinical range, indicating that a practically significant change in behavior of the child has taken place.

For all variables assessing real-world financial risk taking, the difference between genders is highly significant, supporting our Hypothesis 4.

However, an interesting trend-level association was observable between men's investments in the final gamble and HCC.

Notwithstanding, it is of importance to acknowledge that potential associations may not maintain ad infinitum a positive trend, as an initial high cortisol reactivity (and correlated HCC levels), when prolonged, might exhaust the physiological systems and later result in hypoactivity (Kudielka et al., 2006 ).

To clarify this marginally significant effect, the sixth model includes the interaction between gender and income, which washes out the partial effect of income that arose in the previous model and shows that women are risk-cautious at all income levels.

Behaviorally, early bilinguals performed similar to natives (data from Díaz et al., 2011 ) in all sentence types, although they showed a trend toward poorer performance in the object-verb agreement violations.

For the object-verb agreement violations, both groups displayed a similar broad positivity between 150 and 350 ms that was followed by a broad negativity between 400 and 500 ms in late learners and by a marginally significant positivity between 700 and 900 ms in early bilinguals.

As regards the context scale, for which the difference in the results of the pre- and post-treatment assessments was only close to significance, we noted that this scale has fewer items than the others, which means it is probably less reliable and effective in detecting improvements in performance (see Bosco et al., 2012a ).
