Excerpts

There were no significant correlations or correlations close to significance ( Table 3 ).

Still, approaching significance group differences for pre-test children’s performance were found in the motor persistence task (0.053), so pre-test was used as a covariate in the further analyses.

Linear mixed effect models explaining brain age gap from bio-psycho-social factors We ran the proposed five baseline and bio-psycho-social models with the first principal component (PC) of the numeric predictors from each of the models showing a small proportion of the variance in brain age uniquely explained by the principal components ( R 2 < 1%; Supplementary Table S5 ), with differences between these models and respective baseline models yet being highly significant ( Supplementary Table S6 ).

It should be noted that the relation between children’s lying and inhibitory control is marginally significant.

For both one-year and three-year embeddings, good leader terms had a significant trend for leader names, with good leader terms more associated with men but becoming increasingly associated with female leaders over time.

The difference between these means is highly significant ( t = 12.999).

In addition, anxiety rate showed a decreasing trend at M6 in RTC group compared with UC group, although it did not reach statistical significance.

The adaptation of students may be significant in the first month or even the first 2 weeks, and many special circumstances are encountered during this period.

The overall results of this study showed a trend towards an improvement in empathy: although there were no improvements in perspective taking nor in personal distress, fantasy and empathic concern scores did significantly increase.

As described in the Supplementary Materials , we observed significant interactions between the geographic regions and publication periods concerning only the topic of neuroscience of visual search, which exhibited an increasing trend in North-Central America, a decreasing trend in Asia, and remained unchanged in Europe.

Moreover, we observed an increasing trend of neuroscience topics across publication periods.

We anticipate that there might be significant variability in the studies’ design and outcome measurement instruments.

There was a marginally significant interaction of SES with ACS status, such that we only observed evidence of an association among those with ACS.

Examination of nationally representative General Social Survey data revealed that Americans’ attitudes about same-sex sexual relations stagnated from 1973 through the early 1990s, with a favorable trend beginning at that time ( Loftus, 2001 ; Schnabel, 2016 ).

Unfortunately, however, it turned out to be a positive trend that only lasted for a few months and collapsed between June (−5.9%) and July (−5.8%), about 9 months after the second pandemic wave ( ISTAT, 2021b ).

We found that: participants showed a temporal overestimation effect for fear stimuli compared to neutral and disgust stimuli in the middle phase of bed rest (day 8), and a decreasing trend in temporal sensitivity to the three types of stimuli in the middle and later phases (day 8 and 15), especially for fear and neutral stimuli.

In contrast, the highly significant influence of the delay of gratification on both facets (control female: β =0.68, control male: β =0.57; budgeting female: β =0.42, budgeting male: β =0.42) exists independently of gender.

In terms of anxiety rate, there was no discrepancy between groups at any assessment time points (all P > 0.05), however, anxiety rate showed a decreasing trend at M6 in CBSM group compared with UC group although it did not reach statistical significance (20.3 vs. 34.2%) ( P = 0.057) ( Figure 3A ).

Pre- to post-intervention changes in the Turtle Program delivered in-person when compared with a waiting-list condition A marginally significant Time × Group effect was found for child total anxiety.

The Autism Child-therapist alliance was a significant predictor of post-treatment anxiety scores, and the parent-therapist alliance was only a marginally significant predictor ( Klebanoff et al., 2019 ).

Our results suggest that the most affected aspect of scene knowledge guidance in DLD is related to syntactic scene-object violations, since the preference for the semantic scene-object violation almost reached statistical significance.

Despite a slow global recovery, the human, social, and economic effects of COVID-19 were still highly significant.

Specifically, a positive trend detected in at least one of the MAS’s subscales is an indication of an increase of that specific metacognitive function, therefore distinguishes a good therapy process; similarly, for what concerns the IDAAP methodology, a positive trend of both WRAD and WRRL scales, remaining over their cut-off through all sessions (see the cut-off values in the IDAAP’s results paragraph), together with a negative trend of the REF/WRAD covariation, are a numerical reflection of a good therapeutic process.

We considered a positive evolution of the therapeutic processes when we identified, through the application of the IDAAP methodology on sessions transcripts, a positive trend of WRAD and WRRL scales (i.e., their values had an increasing trend along the eight considered sessions and/or they were both over their threshold, respectively 0.5 for WRAD and 0.54 for WRRL) and, at the same time, negative values for REF/WRAD covariation scale.

However, there was a clear trend for men to have the lowest muscle tension during MINDFUL, and the tension decreased minute-by-minute.
