(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.

Notably, there was a marginally significant effect for the suppression condition, indicating a trend toward the EA group reporting greater use of suppression relative to the WE group.

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 ).

The three-way interaction (Numeral group × Congruency × Stage) was approaching significance.

These data indicate very strong differences across listeners on usage of some of the parameters, namely highly significant differences in the correlations between different listeners’ judgments and the parameters Max Pitch (f 0 ), Spectral Ratio, Spectral Mean, Spectral Dispersion (SD), Periodicity and Number of Regimes.

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.

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

This interaction means that the negativity was strong at medial electrodes, but only marginally significant at more lateral electrodes.

In contrast, in the last 10 min, the number of ideas generated by the dyads in the three conditions were significantly different, [ F (2, 45) = 5.243, p < 0.05/3, η 2 = 0.189, 1 − β = 0.807], and the difference among three conditions on the categories of ideas was marginally significant, [ F (2, 45) = 4.350, p < 0.1/3, η 2 = 0.162, 1 − β = 0.725].

Analyses showed that adherence was significantly different between conditions when the cutaneous and visual (only a trend) imagery abilities were introduced as moderators (although the interaction was marginally significant in the case of the visual imagery ability).

Based on 21 samples ( n = 7,947), a meta-analysis of random effects demonstrated a moderately significant weighted effect size ( r = 0.365) and was found to be a good predictor of academic performance.

Differently from the WTW costs, when the difficulty of the secondary task increased (i.e., carrying a glass of water and a ball on a round tray) we found a negative association with visual memory and recall and a negative trend with verbal memory, rote learning, attention, and concentration (i.e., digit-forward subtest).

However, no prior research has compared the two different types of incongruence, which may be significant in terms of understanding extensively the effects of P–E misfit ( Edwards and Rothbard, 1999 ).

The finding of elevated neurodynamic organization in the frontal regions during INTB may be significant as frontal regions have been implicated in the detection of unfavorable outcomes, error correction, and resolution of uncertainty, all of which might be expected to play a role during this critical procedure ( Ridderinkhof et al., 2004 ; Murray and Rudebeck, 2017 ).

Thus, results may change, especially in the case of the marginally significant results obtained in this study.

Overall, across all instruments, a significant majority of the musicians of the orchestras reviewed were male (56.7%, p < 0.0001), but there were highly significant regional differences in male-female proportions.

The calculation of data location also yielded an interesting trend.

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.

It might be significant in this context that mental symptoms associated with eating disorders are inconsistent over time, identifying some of these symptoms at any particular time may be difficult, as they may be remitting and relapsing over time, rather than running a chronic course ( Anckarsäter et al., 2012 ).

A marginally significant interaction (mainly driven by the slowest D 1 -D 2 and N 1 -N 2 conditions) indicates that the matching conditions, overall, are significantly slower than the mismatch conditions.

Two of the complexes had mean differences approaching significance.

To lower the risk of false positives given the number of relations examined, we discuss here only those results that were consistent across both samples (significant or at least marginally significant in both).

A negative marginally significant correlation was found between RF and ED symptoms.
