However, the ability of the model to predict the dependent variable over and above the intercept-only model approached significance, [χ 2 (9) = 16.395, p = 0.059].

Results demonstrate that tangible resources show a marginally significant mean value of the slope factor (slope mean = -0.04, p = 0.059; T1–3 means = 3.47, 3.42, and 3.41, respectively), which suggests that the mean level of tangible resources show a decreasing trend over time.

However, no reliable difference was found between conditions for script-consistent events, M experienced = 1.91, SD experienced = 1.44; M hypothetical = 2.18, SD hypothetical = 1.89, U (15, 14) = 77.50, z = −1.20, p = 0.230 (two-tailed), effect size r = 0.22, and the difference was only marginally significant for script-divergent events, M experienced = −0.77, SD experienced = 1.81; M hypothetical = −1.74, SD hypothetical = 1.98, U (15, 15) = 67.00, z = −1.89, p = 0.059 (two-tailed), effect size r = 0.34.

Additionally, the interaction effect of group and tempo approached significance, F (2,37) = 2.94, p = 0.059, η 2 = 0.07; the interaction effect of tempo and emotion dimension was significant, F (1,37) = 29.38, p < 0.001, η 2 = 0.43.

Nonetheless, the Mann–Whitney test revealed a marginally significant effect of age group ( Z = -1.89, p = 0.059), which showed that a decreased tendency of selecting egocentric representation among adult participants.

The second correlation analysis revealed a marginally significant correlation: the longer were the infants’ rhythmic moving times, the smaller were the absolute looking time Δ scores ( r = −0.24, p = 0.059), that is, the weaker were their preferences for looking longer toward one of the two types of trials at test (see Figure 3B ).

In addition, for natives, the interaction of Location and Structure was significant in the subjects analysis and close to significant in the items analysis [ F1 (1, 47) = 5.04, p = 0.03, F2 (1, 39) = 3.89, p = 0.056], while for heritage speakers, the interaction approached significance in both types of analysis [ F1 (1, 27) = 3.89, p = 0.059, F2 (1, 39) = 3.15, p = 0.08].

Examining only the experiments with risk preferences, i.e., Experiments 1–6, neither monkey exhibited a significant change overall (linear regression, Monkey P: R 2 = 0.63, p = 0.059; Monkey T: R 2 = 0.13, p = 0.833), although Monkey P was trending toward significance ( p = 0.059), which was due to a significant decrease for Configuration 1 ( R 2 = 0.8, p < 0.05) but not Configuration 2 ( R 2 = 0.28, p = 0.28).

Some selective attention measures, such as the TMT-A, reached marginally statistically significant group*time interactions: ( F (1, 24) = 3.926, p = 0.059, partial η 2 = 0.141) and executive function measures, such as the Stroop Colors and Words ( F (1, 24) = 4.243, p = 0.05, partial η 2 = 0.150), but there was still a large effect size ( Cohen, 1977 ).

Moreover, the effect of the Pet-related Avoidance Scale was marginally significant [ F ( 1 , 432 ) = 3.597, p = 0.059]; dogs of owners with elevated PAVS tended to approach the toy object later, and there was a significant PAVS × PANXS interaction [ F ( 1 , 432 ) = 5.568, p = 0.019; dogs of owners with lower PAVS and PANXS tended to approach the toy object sooner].

Past Surveillance Acceptance Another linear regression showed that prosocial responsibility was a marginally significant predictor of past surveillance acceptance, B = 0.07, SE = 0.04, β = 0.11, p = 0.059.

The results for males showed that the sensitivity of the Flanker Task to detect any differences between students with and without disabilities for the RT measure revealed a trend approaching significance for an effect of Disability [ F (1) = 4.142, p = 0.059, η p 2 = 0.206].

Planned comparisons that assessed the effects of congruity at each SOA separately showed significant interference effects at SOA = −150 ms, t (2187) = 2.55, p = 0.011 and at SOA = −300 ms, t (2189) = 2.27, p = 0.023, and a marginally significant interference effect at SOA = 0 ms, t (2183) = 1.89, p = 0.059.

Independent samples t -test showed no differences between boys ( n = 19) and girls ( n = 12) ( t = −0.150; p = 0.882) regarding BPSC Total and a trend toward significance regarding PPSC Total ( t = −1.901; p = 0.059), with boys ( n = 89) showing a higher mean than girls ( n = 73) ( M = 7.49; M = 5.89, respectively).

Compared to the no-contrast condition, the increase triggered by the object contrast was only marginally significant (χ 2 = 3.6, df = 1, n = 76, p = 0.059), whereas the decrease triggered by the liquid contrast was significant (χ 2 = 37.2, df = 1, n = 73, p < 0.001).

Regarding Orienting/regulation, there was a trend approaching significance, suggesting higher scores of mothers than fathers, U = 1314.00, z = −1.89, p = 0.059.

The difference in neighborhood density is marginally significant [ t (16) = 2.029, p = 0.059].

Although not significantly different, there was a statistical trend for perceiving the superset session more pleasurable than the traditional session ( Z = −1.891, p = 0.059, ES = 0.25).

There was a trend toward significance when looking at the wake condition and the absolute OSPAN score ( r 39 = −0.31, p = 0.059), while all other correlations were insignificant ( p > 0.11).

Only monofractal structure showed a trend toward a significant mediation effect for the listening and reading comprehension relation (indirect effect Z = 1.89, p = 0.059, direct effect Z = 5.45, p < 0.01, R 2 = 0.311).

Marginal significance was found for the correlation between the change scores of the picture-updating task and the changed RP amplitude of stimulus-based action ( rs = 0.482, p = 0.059), showing that improved performance of executive function after training was positively related with the increased RP amplitude in stimulus-based action.

In the control group, adolescents demonstrated lower emotional functioning scores compared with younger children, with borderline significance ( p = 0.059).

The difference between the DLD and HFA-LI groups was marginally significant in Structure B (adjusted p = 0.059), but not significant in Structure C (adjusted p = 1.000).

Similarly, the presence of tilt/shake and shrug were both approaching an acceptable significance level [tilt/shake χ 2 (1, 31) = 3.54, p = 0.059 and shrug χ 2 (1, 31) = 3.54, p = 0.059].

Lastly, we found a marginally significant main effect of phase on maternal nonintrusiveness ( p = 0.059, η p 2 = 0.07; see Figure 3 ).
