Excerpts

During action observation, the ANOVAs for three of the four ROIs revealed marginally significant interactions between the condition (exp/ctrl) and session (pre/post) factors.

(2013) , our results revealed a decreasing trend in patient performance in managing the different pragmatic tasks investigated, including sincere, deceitful, and ironic communicative acts in both comprehension and production on both the linguistic and extralinguistic scales of the ABaCo ( Angeleri et al., 2012 ).

The patients with schizophrenia also exhibited an increasing trend of difficulty in comprehending and producing sincere, deceitful, and ironic communicative acts expressed through either linguistic or extralinguistic means.

Analyses revealed a marginal trend of parents speaking a greater amount of cardinal number terms when discussing stimuli with higher number skills ( M = 12.14, SD = 9.15) compared to when they spoke to children with lower number skills ( M = 4.77, SD = 8.01), F (1,21) = 3.88, p = 0.077.

Therefore, we suspect the marginal significance may be related with our sample size ( N = 200), which is not a big one.

There is no “objective” indicator for the extent of difference required to be deemed “non-trivial.” Therefore, we followed the guideline that effect size benchmarks for “practically significant” effects should be determined based on evidence from the specific research context (Hill et al., 2008 ; Keefer et al., 2013 ).

Using a paired sample Wilcoxon sign-rank test (non-parametric test), the results for naturalized respondents showed hardly significant changes in the average value for identification with Germany over this period: indifference profile ( n = 25; T = 85.50, ns ); partial integration profile ( n = 36; T = 230.00, ns ); assimilation profile ( n = 15; T = 35.00, ns ); separation profile ( n = 22; T = 52.00, ns ).

Although marginally significant, our results tend to confirm this result: our thirsty subjects exhibited an increased RT (+28 ms) in trials toward a candle glass when the preceding trial in the sequence was a no-go trial toward a glass of water, whereas the control group showed a decreased (−34 ms).

On the other hand, because many significance tests were conducted, some p -values may be significant by chance assuming that the distributions are the same across the High-to-Low and Low-to-High versions.

Bivariate correlations 7 among the four dimensions were found to be highly significant ( Table 4 ) for the five relationships hypothesized.

All nine BRIEF-A subscales had moderate to strong and highly significant correlations with the ASRS-6 score ( Supplementary Table S3 ).

(2009) whom reported that low socially anxious participants displayed more pro-social behavior after rejection, whereas HSAs showed a trend toward less pro-social behavior.

Although, this association was only marginally significant, overall Study 1 provided some evidence that high and low masculine honor-oriented men may be perceiving caregiver fathers differentially in ways that reflect their own social/moral standards.

Although the relation between science intrinsic value and future STEM occupational aspirations was only marginally significant, the effect size was rather large, suggesting a link between interest and STEM aspirations in young students.

Team technique work was also found to have a high rating for relevance and a (marginally significant) high rating for concentration.

Analysis 2: Do Co-occurrence Strength and Frequency Modulate L2 VPC Reading? In Analysis 1, we found an overall trend for L2 readers to display longer second pass reading time for split VPCs at the VPC region.

Pair Type Effect In both implicit and explicit conditions, we found a highly significant pair type effect.

Additionally, as suggested by a marginally significant group difference on time B/time A of the Hayling test, the EG appeared to take longer than the CG to respond to complex situations involving impulse control.

Although the relationships between perceived terrorism threat and negative attitudes toward the EU change to some degree from year to year, and the confidence intervals can be large (making it unreliable to make claim about specific country level differences) – we note an increasing trend toward a higher number of countries being Eurosceptic.

The amplitude of N200 in 12-h smoking abstinence condition had an increasing trend compared with the smoking satiety sessions in young smokers but the difference was not significant ( t = −0.904, p = 0.37) ( Figure 2 ).

It is notable that the changes in interpersonal skills just barely missed significance in DMT studies.

Although we found a significant effect of threat on hits, a lack of power may have contributed to our not being able to detect a full mediation, or a more than only marginally significant effect of threat on identification as female football player.

In addition, there was a statistical trend for higher current skillfulness in female volunteers.

In Study 2, this relationship remains positive but it becomes marginally significant after hostile attribution bias is entered as a mediator.

However, a number of organizational characteristics may be significant in preventing and reducing the incidence of work-related stress ( Giorgi et al., 2019 ), including organizational climate.
