All other hypothesized associations were only marginally significant.

No other effects approached significance.

Frequency The main effect of Frequency (see Table 4 ) was significant across all target fixation time measures (FFD, SFD, GD, TT) and the pre-target T − 1 measure, but only marginally significant (both by participants and items) in the post-target T + 1 measure.

Behavioral results Robust MSIT interference effects across all distracter conditions Consistent with previous reports (Bush et al., 2003 ; Bush and Shin, 2006 ), we observed a robust and highly significant MSIT interference effect (i.e., a main effect of congruency) in both measures of task performance.

Moreover, the augmented intervention resulted in a marginally significant increase in self-efficacy, whereas the standard intervention resulted in a significant decrease.

Although the result of the Sobel test was only marginally significant (see Figure 3 ), the fact that zero fell outside the confidence interval (−12.89 to −1.30; see Table 4 ) indicated a significant mediation effect (Preacher and Hayes, 2008 ).

No other coping subscales approached significance in predicting activity level.

The bivariate correlations between ADS scores from time 1 and time 2 ( r = 0.71, p < 0.01) and time 2 and time 3 ( r = 0.69, p < 0.01) were highly significant.

Consistent with our predictions, we found that the more people were in a pleasant core affective state, the more likely they would appraise future events more favorably in terms of advantageousness and their problem and emotion (marginally significant) coping potential.

Analyses of expectation bias generally consist of determining whether the anticipatory effects on trials following contiguous trials of one stimulus type show a significant trend toward increasing with the number of preceding contiguous trials.

On the other hand, it is still possible that the highly significant overall effect reported here could be explained by a “filedrawer effect” if negative findings were under-reported for some reason.

Several studies reporting significant or near-significant anticipatory effects were excluded because we could not determine the direction of the post-stimulus effect from either the reports themselves or from email correspondence with the authors (Bierman, 2007 , fMRI component; Hartwell, 1978 ; Don et al., 1998 ; Lehman et al., 2000 , 2001 ; McDonough et

Culture × scenario interaction effects were significant for anger at oneself, shame, guilt, and sadness, but only marginally significant for anger (Figure 5 B).

150–250 ms epoch There was no effect of language [ F (2,34) < 0.1],and none of the interactions with language approached significance in this epoch.

In particular, the ALSSAQOL “negative emotion” and “spiritually/religiousness” subscales reached the psychometric significance in terms of pre to post treatment improvements, while “interaction” and “physical symptoms” subscales appeared to be marginally significant.

One species (guppy) yielded a marginally significant result, and one species (zebrafish) was not significant (Table 1 ).

The interaction of probability and value is significant in Study 2 and marginally significant in Study 1.

The interaction of congruence and speaker approached significance ( t = 1.79), with a greater difference in RTs (slower in the no gaze than gaze conditions) for incongruous compared to congruous trials.

No other effects approached significance.

irrelevant) mixed-model ANOVA was performed that yielded a main effect of Stimulus Type, F (1,50) = 5.60, p = 0.02, η 2 = 0.02, and a Condition × Stimulus Type interaction, F (1,50) = 3.78, p = 0.06, η 2 = 0.01, approaching significance.

No other effects approached significance (all p s > 0.20).

These results suggest a strong trend for Ghanaians and African Americans to both produce scores indicating higher disgust and contamination sensitivities (Williams and Turkheimer, 2007 : mean Padua total score for Whites = 7.08, mean Padua total score for Blacks = 11.84; this study: mean Padua total score for Ghanaians = 16.35).

A similar effect almost reached significance for the comparison of the human versus ambiguous faces.

At PAS = WG there is a clear trend toward high true positive rate and low false positive rate, indicating substantially improved discriminatory power, however with four subjects demonstrating a tendency to underperform on the visual task (false positive rate exceeding 30%).

( 2008 ) found that children who interacted with computers during their intervention time using Fast ForWord-Language or computer-assisted language intervention (CALI), fared as well as children who received one-to-one individual language intervention with a certified SLP or academic enrichment, all of whom made highly significant improvements on standardized language measures.
