As such speculation was based on marginally significant correlation between loneliness and inclusion verbs N400 at the right posterior area.

This illustrates the sensitivity of the results to the algorithm, and therefore reminds us to be cautious when concluding on the basis of only “slightly significant” p -values.

It is note-worthy that while all the Pearson correlations are highly significant (all p s < 0.001), only a few partial correlations are significant.

When controlling for age and sex, problem gambling was statistically significant associated with the number of daily mobile phone calls (df 1, OR 1.33 [1.07–1.65]), the frequency of using the mobile phone for games (df 1, OR 1.57 [1.37–1.80]), with subjective dependence on one's mobile phone (df 1, OR 1.09 [1.01–1.18]), and the association of problem gambling with the number of friends to communicate with during 1 day (df 1, OR 1.37 [0.99–1.99]) was nearly statistically significant.

In contrast, for the IS group (see Figures 4 , 5B ), the results of the paired t -tests showed that there were no significant mean WM-related [oxy-Hb] or [deoxy-Hb] changes on any of the 16 channels (FDR-corrected; p s > 0.003), although marginally significant mean [oxy-Hb] (ch7-10; uncorrected; t s from −2.96 to −2.16, p s from 0.008 to 0.044) or [deoxy-Hb] changes (ch4,16; uncorrected; t s from 2.31 to 2.52, p s from 0.021 to 0.032) were found on some channels.

Indeed, the compassion group showed a trend towards a positive association between visual attention to suffering and prosocial behavior whereas the reappraisal group showed a negative association (slope difference, z = 1.62, p = 0.10; Supplementary Figure S3 ).

A clear trend was found when comparing responders and non-responders to intervention: responders showed larger change-scores than non-responders on all theoretical measures pre- to post-intervention.

The role of the chronic Present Hedonistic TP was moderated by the situationally induced Future (approaching significance) and Present Hedonistic TPs.

Proactive control showed a trend of improvement after an 8-week mindfulness practice for the training group; however, enhanced reactive control for the training and control groups could not be attributed directly to the 8-week mindfulness practice.

With an increasing trend that English learning commences at an earlier age and more and more English language tests are designed for child English language learners (ELLs), research is needed to investigate strategic competence among the vast number of young children population.

Some research has shown a clear trend that individuals initially escalate their commitment to a failing course of action, especially if they were responsible for the initial decision ( Staw, 1976 ).

Although the independent variable (affect) was associated with the putative mediator (IM) in step one, and the association between IM and work rate was trending toward significance in step two, the 95% confidence interval for the indirect effect (CI = 0.000, 0.143) did include zero.

Indeed, our findings revealed a significant decrease in the valence reported after viewing happy expressions and an almost significant one for disgusted expressions.

A clear trend illustrated by our data is that masculine traits systematically increase with age.

Here, we saw a trend toward absorption predicting DMT-induced NDE but this relationship did not quite reach statistical significance, perhaps due to insufficient statistical power or that the use of different doses might have masked this effect.

To conclude, the results show that it seems possible that psychodrama contributed to a positive trend of improving wellbeing, especially in terms of problems and risks.

For the anxiety dimension, the results were non-significant ( r = 0.271, N = 48, p = 0.06), but only a trend toward significance showing that participants who were high on the anxiety dimension were also high on the free factor.

The directions of the correlations were opposite: a high score on the avoidant dimension correlated with a low score on the free factor, and a high score on the anxiety dimension showed a trend toward significance with a high score on the free factor.

However, our hypothesis was not fully supported, as the reciprocal pathway by which EF at K through social competence at G1 mediates the relationship between cumulative risk and academic outcomes was merely approaching significance.

However, it may be important to highlight that although the number of “disconnected” students in the transitioning sample was similar across all age groups, this was close to significance in the transition year with increased odds of disconnectedness.

For the second SM test (TP SR = TP FR1 ), a two-way RM-ANOVA showed significant main effect of segment-type, marginally significant effect of report-type, but no significant interaction (Table 1 , rows 44, 46).

In order to determine possibly significant differences between the models, we followed Chen (2007) recommendations, in which it is suggested that ΔCFI ≥ 0.01 and ΔRMSEA ≥ 0.015 would indicate non-invariance.

The polynomial contrasts indicated marginally significant linear and marginally significant quadratic trends, F (1,20) = 4.03, p = 0.058 and F (1,20) = 3.76, p = 0.067.

Universalism was also marginally significant negatively related to mating, while benevolence was negatively related to intellect and marginally significant positively to sociality.

In sum, there is a clear trend toward preferential activation in response to negative stimuli and, presumably, stimuli that induce high levels of arousal.
