(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.

Although, in each of the three brain structures, more than 300 genes showed nominally significant left-right differences in their expression patterns, none survived correction for multiple testing.

However, this interaction between grammaticality and adjective choice was only marginally significant ( t = −1.95).

As expected with averaging, the peak was shifted away from the flankers’ gaze deviation although this effect was only significant for L20 and L10 and showed a trend in the predicted direction for R10 ( M = -0.13, SD = 1.93) and R20 ( M = -0.65, SD = 1.91).

As zero was not included in the 95% confidence interval, we discovered a partially significant mediation effect of individual-level TFL on employee service quality through psychological empowerment.

The resulting model was highly significant (Model 3a in Table 5 ) and showed that Rhythm Perception, Synchronization and verbal memory significantly predicted phonological awareness, while non-verbal ability did not [ Beta = -0.04 , t (27) = -0.03, n.s.] and hence it was dropped.

Because effect of ownership on implicit attitude change was shown to be highly significant in the previous research ( Maister et al., 2013 ), ownership was considered as a variable in the analysis.

With regard to the analysis of socio-demographic variables in better versus worse self-perceived health, there was a statistical trend in the direction of worse self-perceived health in recipients with a partnership (small effect size).

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).

Cumulating the results from Truong (2011) , the original study ( Till et al., 2016 ), and the current replication attempt meta-analytically yielded a nominally significant, but small, positive correlation between weekly TV viewing and at least one incorrect response in the 5-item death penalty questionnaire.

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 ).

All four regression analyses using the SLS-Berlin score as a predictor for mean FFD and mean TRT are highly significant and demonstrated that readers with lower SLS-Berlin scores exhibited longer mean FFDs and mean TRTs per word than readers with high SLS-Berlin scores.

It is notable that the changes in interpersonal skills just barely missed significance in DMT studies.

Post hoc comparisons were non-significant across cluster groups for self-reported physical function, although the difference between the High Health/Low Psychosocial and Low Resilience groups approached significance with a large effect size ( η p 2 = 0.22).

Our findings bolster this argument by adding important data on the potential link of ISL with efficient reading in childhood by presenting a positive trend between visual ISL and phonological awareness.

In Study 2, this relationship remains positive but it becomes marginally significant after hostile attribution bias is entered as a mediator.

CEP Courses Increased the Self-Assessed Scores of Entrepreneurial Attitudes and Intention More Than They Did the Knowledge and Skills of the Students of the Department of International Business For the groups in the department of international business, all differences in entrepreneurial attitudes and intention were highly significant for the CEP-Y and CEP-N groups, but a few differences in the skills domains were found to be insignificant, namely, the resource skills, interpersonal skills and learning skills.

Managers’ conscientiousness was a nearly significant negative predictor of subordinates’ KPI.

However, we did not find a significant interaction between attractiveness and trustworthiness for penalty decisions, and the “beauty-penalty effect” was only marginally significant among females.

When it comes to the pre-teen and early-teen years, research shows the same pattern of variance-invariance and a notable trend toward more negative parenting styles as compared to earlier childhood years ( Collins, 1990 ; Rimehaug et al., 2011 ).

Although not reaching a significant level, ORs in TMT-B and Digit Span Forward showed a trend to a worse performance in women, with a probability up to 2.5-times higher for a defect, facing men.
