Excerpts

Openness, self-awareness/self-reflection, and commitment to social justice may be significant indicators of the likelihood that teachers may gain increased intercultural understanding and sensitivity.

As can be seen from the figures, the standard errors of item parameters show a decreasing trend as the sample size increases.

Moreover, our results also support Hypotheses 3 and 4: academic anxiety is a positive predictor of academic burnout ( β = 0.47, p < 0.001), and the serial mediation pathway, “English-learning stress → academic anxiety → academic burnout → English academic performance” ( β = −0.02, SE = 0.01, 95%CI = [−0.04, −0.00]) is marginally significant and can explain 7.14% of the variance.

The observed ISSP effect in Experiment 1 from the entire sample showed a trend toward significance and the ISSP effect of the female participants in the sustained negative background was significant after multiple-comparison corrections.

This influence has a decreasing trend and further explains that learners lack the awareness to construct an L2 metaphorical system because the learning environment does not pay much attention to developing metaphorical competence (Xiaofang, 2021 ).

However, the main effect of Intensity [ χ 2 (2) = 5.44, p = 0.07, Supplementary Figure 3 B ] only showed a tendency toward significance.

All dependent variables were highly significant at 1% statistical significance, so fixed effects were used.

This indicates that the subjective well-being of individual farmers shows a decreasing trend with age.

Sharing negative emotions did not have any significant positive or negative effects on these factors (except for a positive trend for warmth).

Symbolic threat seemed less effective in leading to these negative outcomes, since its effects in increasing the denial of human rights of migrants and reducing identification with the human group were not fully significant.

The effect was stronger in the VR experiment ( η 2 p = 0.21) compared to the field test ( η 2 p = 0.13), where it was only marginally significant.

Moreover, in both modalities, the HF% of adverbials showed a decreasing trend, gradually approaching TL.

Moreover, findings show a marginally significant association between attending a dual career support program and perceived limited opportunities for higher education.

Statistical p -values were obtained based on the significance test, generally p < 0.05 for statistically differences, p < 0.01 for statistically significant differences, and p < 0.001 for extremely significant statistical differences, with the smaller the p-value the more significant the difference ( Lancaster and McQueeney, 2011 ).

In contrast, when the political skill is low (1 SD below the mean), only squared narcissism has a significant effect on reputation (narcissism: b = 0.25, ns; squared narcissism: b = −2.80, p < 0.01) and creativity (narcissism: b = 0.46, p < 0.01; squared narcissism: b = −2.30, p < 0.01) indicates that the relationship between narcissism and dependent variables showed a positive trend at lower levels of narcissism and a negative trend at higher levels of narcissism.

We propose that the inverted U-shape correlation of narcissism with both personal reputation and creativity may be significant only when narcissists have low political skill.

In addition, the sample of the experiment is relatively small, although the differences tested scored highly significant.

Results A total of 658 publications were identified finally, and there has been an increasing trend in the annual number of publications, with the United States ranking first in the number of publications and influence.

Similar to the income variables, the health status variables are also statistically highly significant in explaining the likelihood of individuals often falling behind on their finances.

Population aging is an important trend in China’s social development and the basic national conditions of China for a considerable period in the future.

The results indicated a significant increase in all three subconstructs of lexical richness in argumentative compositions over the year, while in expository compositions, only lexical density and lexical sophistication demonstrated an increasing trend.

We used multiple keywords in the ISI search engine in the topic field using a complete list of possibilities including “social exchange theory,” “exchange relationships,” “evolution of social exchange theory,” and “exchange relations.” These searches returned highly significant empirical and conceptual references ( n = 3,221; Scopus = 1954 and ISI Web of Knowledge = 1,267).

Nevertheless, the results indicated that alexithymia still showed a trend toward the “diagnosis” score of the YFAS-F.

In the weishenme P condition, there is no significant main effect of Structure (β = 0.012, SE = 0.048, t = 0.26), but there is a marginally significant main effect of Distance (β = 0.11, SE = 0.062, t = 1.77) such that the short condition is more acceptable than the long condition.

Cyberbullying in adolescents has shown an increasing trend particularly in psychiatric patients.
