Excerpts

However, the relationship between team professional experience and standardized mortality ratios was close to significance.

The group scores of the Anxiety component of the MCMI-III showed a positive trend, though not statistically significant.

The group scores of the SMI adaptive modes showed a trend for the SMI adaptive modes to increase across treatment, with a slight decrease in the SMI adaptive modes from post to follow-up.

When equating mean surface area across trials such that surface area and numerosity were correlated, task performance was only marginally significant correlated with inhibitory control ( r = 0.20).

Partial correlations revealed that age, family income, and IQ were marginally significant predictors ( p s < 0.10).

Thus, the association between duration of music training and IQ was near-significant when demographic variables were held constant, although it was weaker than in previous correlational studies with older children (Schellenberg, 2006 , 2011a ; Corrigall et al., 2013 ) and in a quasi-experiment with same-age children (Schellenberg and Mankarious, 2012 ).

No other effects reached the 0.10 level of marginal significance.

All remaining main effects and interactions, including the main effect of participants’ hearing status [ F (1, 49) = 0.067, p = 0.80, η p 2 = 0.001], were not significant or only marginally significant.

Finally, no substantial difference was apparent between expert and non-expert subjects.

Note that, by accepting this conclusion, one is not leaving the probabilistic paradigm: conditional probabilities figure as a highly significant predictor in MOAB as well.

The only relationship that approached significance was a negative correlation with Fantasy, suggesting that people with high IA tend not put themselves in the position of characters in books and films, which might perhaps reflect good self/other distinction.

Abstract An increasing trend in the workplace is for employees to walk on treadmills while working to attain known health benefits; however, the effect of walking on a treadmill during cognitive control and executive function tasks is not well known.

Finally, it should also be noted that despite that the patterns of results were in line with our hypotheses, some of the effects were just marginally significant.

However, neither the fatalistic determinism × distal intent interaction (β = −0.03, p = 0.56) nor the fatalistic determinism × proximal intent interaction (β = −0.27, p = 0.63) approached significance.

As our main findings pertaining to the temperature measure reached marginal significance, we are hesitant to draw firm conclusions, and suggest future explorations in this area to consider an even bigger sample size.

Overall, there was a slight trend for participants to more frequently approach problems in an insightful manner; insight ratings ( M = 2.60, SD = 0.48) differed marginally significantly from the hypothetical scale midpoint t (69) = 1.82, p = 0.07.

The exploratory analyses on the first pieces of information provided for each trial showed a trend-level effect of the addressee’s likely knowledge, with more descriptions and less characters’ names as first pieces of information for likely unknown movies.

Both the main effect of Language (coef = 0.06, SE = 0.03, t = 1.98) and the main effect of Memory (coef = 0.09, SE = 0.05, t = 1.87) were only marginally significant.

Estimation errors were lower in the Welsh-medium group for all these tasks, though the difference only approached significance for the 0–100 task ( M = 19.05, SD = 5.52 for the Welsh-medium pupils compared to M = 21.69, SD = 8.42 for the English-medium pupils); and reached it for the overall estimation error score ( M = 16.06, SD = 4.66 for the Welsh-medium pupils and M = 19.1, SD = 8.57 for the English-medium pupils).

There was a marginally significant difference on the measure of objective ambivalence, showing stronger effects for abstract topics.

(Only Emotionality showed a marginally significant contribution to the prediction to CN.) To examine the mediating roles played by CN and CH in the relations of the two personality variables (Honesty–Humility and Openness to Experience) with the three outcome variables (i.e., pro-environmental attitudes, pro-animal attitudes, and ecological behaviors), we expanded the above model three times, each time by adding one of the latter three variables but omitting the other two (see Figure 2 ).

No other effects reached or even approached significance level.

This is because we have a large number of multiple comparisons (16), and we are looking for many that might be significant.

The underadditive interactions in this dataset were also marginally significant in the GLMM analyses using the inverse link function.

Among personality traits, we found almost significant relationships: adaptation to school rules and impulsiveness control were negatively related to tension (Q 4 ) r tension-adaptation = -0.50, r tension-impulsiviness = 0.62, p < 0.05.
