Excerpts

The interaction was marginally significant, b = −0.24, t (221) = −1.75, p = 0.08, η 2 p = 0.01, and simple slope analyses revealed that, although there was no significant link for high SES students, b = 0.10, t < 1, for low SES students, the more they endorsed BSM, the more they believed in a meritocratic and just society, b = 0.34, t (221) = 4.21, p < 0.001.

Despite the low number of men in the sample, we checked gender differences (see Tables 2 and 3 ) and observed a number of tendencies that approached significance in the Deceit Detection Test, especially the higher mean for Truth Hits in women (Mann–Whitney U = 858, p = 0.08) and the higher mean for Neutral Hits in women (Mann–Whitney U = 859, p = 0.08), as well as the higher mean for False Negatives in men (Mann–Whitney U = 853, p = 0.07).

First, there appears to be a drop again in mean density of %REC (29.4, 22.5, 22.1%), but this is only marginally significant, t (23) = 1.6, p = 0.08.

There was also a marginally significant interaction between time and group, F (1, 87) = 2.19, p = 0.08, n 2 p = 0.09.

The direct actor effect of Partner A’s general stress communication on his/her own interaction quality was marginally significant, b = 0.84, SE = 0.48, p = 0.08, and further, the partner-partner indirect effect was statistically significant, b = -0.93, SE = 0.31, p = 0.002.

Self-touch Nearly three quarters of boys and just over half of girls showed self-touching behaviours during eye-tracking (approaching significance trend, χ 2 = 3.06, p = 0.08; see Supplementary Table S4 ).

The analysis of children’s performance in the object group when performing the acting-out task revealed only a statistical trend toward a main effect of relation, F (1,14) = 3.6, p = 0.08, η 2 = 0.20.

Analysing each of the soundscape scales individually through a factorial ANCOVA test found a marginally significant result for the calmness scale ( df = 1, F = 9.91, p = 0.08).

Interaction effect The interaction effect was marginally significant ( p = 0.08) for lower frequencies; however, since establishing a possible interaction between context and word class was one of the central issues behind this work, we also tested the simple effects.

Figure 3 also indicates that a four-way interaction between congruence, prime type, visibility, and quintile should have obtained – basically because the absence of the congruence effect with masked valence primes only – but this interaction fell short of significance, F (4, 152) = 2.10, p = 0.08, partial η 2 = 0.05.

For the alpha frequency band, this test revealed a marginally significant negative cluster 2–2.5 s after sentence onset (max sum = -288.07, p < 0.08).

A marginally significant increase was instead noted in the use of volitional terms [ F (2,27) = 2,788; p = 0.080].

Results showed that across 200 trials, both males and females learned the task; females did not perform significantly differently than men in terms of choosing advantageous cards, although the trend approached significance, p = 0.08, with males selecting 69% advantageous cards with females selecting 62% advantageous cards, which is similar to results on the normal IGT.

Response accuracy Results indicated that sex was a marginally significant predictor of overall accuracy during the selective attention task, B = 0.02, t (37) = 1.79, p = 0.080.

A significant main effect of Body Action Type, F (2,54) = 3.72; p = 0.03; η 2 = 0.12, and a marginal trend for the factor Language Group, F (1,27) = 3.12; p = 0.08; η 2 = 0.10, were found.

The Morphology × Grade interaction was marginally significant ( F (1,1944) = 2.98, p = 0.08), indicating a significant effect of morphology in both groups, which was larger for 3rd graders whose error rates decreased from 17.4% to 8.9% passing from the R − S − to the R + S + conditions (difference = 8.5%, p < 0.0001); 5th graders’ errors decreased from 9.4% to 1.7% for R − S − and R + S + , respectively (difference = 7.7%, p < 0.0001).

A marginally significant main effect of target, F (1,48) = 3.13, p = 0.08, η p 2 = 0.06, Cohen’s d = 0.40, showed that participants tended to rate the truthful target as more deceptive ( M = 3.90, SD = 1.55) than the lying target ( M = 3.40, SD = 1.19).

The interaction between self-regulatory depletion and the imaginary item was only marginally significant but had a medium effect size [ F (3,80) = 3.18, p = 0.08, η p 2 = 0.04; see Figure 3 ].

The main effect of Target Position was marginally significant, F (2,76) = 2.5, p = 0.08, MSE = 0.00352, and only modulated by Version, F (2,76) = 5.2, p < 0.01, MSE = 0.00352.

Analysis of simple-main effects of care leaver status for each level of velocity revealed that, after correction for multiple comparisons, the effect of care-leaver status at 3 cm/s was only marginally significant ( p = 0.08).

For differences in error rates, only correlation between the change in the item of “Motivation” and change in congruency effects in error rates approached the level of significance, r (15) = 0.456, p < 0.08 for VAS2–VAS3.

In Model 3a, openness ( β = 0.14, z = 2.22, p < 0.001) was significantly positively associated with abolitionism, whereas in Model 4a, the relationship was only marginally significant ( β = 0.12, z = 1.74, p > 0.08).

However, only a trend toward significance was observed in relation to the interaction of the variables ( p = 0.08).

There was a marginal significance of the interaction effect between Switch Type and Language [ β = 0.37, SE β = 0.21, χ 2 (1) = 3.07, p = 0.080].

In comparison to the baseline model including only intercepts for fixed and random effects, the addition of a fixed effect of piece significantly improved the fit of the models for articulation and velocity ( p < 0.001 in both cases), but was only marginally significant in the case of asynchrony ( p = 0.08).
