Excerpts

Our findings also showed a small and marginally significant negative correlation between trait food craving and cognitive reappraisal.

Although in the current research this relationship only approached significance, our findings indicated that reappraisal (i.e., a cognitive emotion regulation strategy) could be a possible mediator in the relation between the tendency to crave for food and the subsequent correlated behavior of consuming craved food.

Controlling for extrapyramidal side effects, the ANCOVA of patient's total scores revealed a highly significant effect of the treatment on the severity of overall negative symptoms: While the main effects of the two factors Group and Time were not significant, their interaction was significant at a level of 0.01.

Indeed there was a small trend in the opposite direction.

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 ).

When controlling for age, working memory had a moderately significant effect on Filled-gap Effect Size.

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

More specifically, as outlined by the BMA results, the modulation of the connections from the left to the right dPMC almost reached significance.

The correlation coefficients attained only partial significance and effect sizes were typically small ( Cohen, 1988 ).

No other comparison approached significance after correction.

As for restriction, we also found a marginally significant main effect on trust, indicating that people perceived the communicator as less trustworthy when she emphasized the restrictions for the program related to the change ( M = 5.73; SD = 1.90) compared with the absence of a restriction ( M = 6.45; SD = 1.90), F (1,97) = 3.79, p = 0.054, η 2 = 0.04, 1 - β = 0.49; see Table 2 for all means and standard deviations.

Bilinguals, however, appeared to have accessed the Spanish phonotactic constraint when primed with cognates, but that access was limited to PCF overlap non-word trials; the effect for PC overlap non-word trials was only marginally significant.

Although the support for the mismatch-interference effect was not equally clear—it was only marginally significant in two of the eye tracking measures, and there was some evidence in the exploratory data analysis with cumulative progressions—the two interference effects have important theoretical implications for the generality of the retrieval mechanisms in sentence processing, and so should not be ignored.

That is notwithstanding the highly significant loss of life and long-term medical disability associated with contracting the disease itself ( Hodgson et al., 2021 ; Lopez-Leon et al., 2021 ).

Overt Attention Although for the period preceding the trick event no significant differences in participants’ allocation of overt attention were found between the presented videos, during the trick event, highly significant differences between experimental conditions were observed for all the examined AOIs.

The link between consistency and authenticity has been reported to be highly significant for individuals low in relational self-construal ( Cross et al., 2003 ); for independent individuals it may be crucial to maintain the authenticity of their self through consistency, rather than prescribing to the heritage culture identity when interacting with other in-group members.

Also highly significant are the later writings of Sharpe ( 1932 , and many others) who promoted greater dramatic meaning in conjuring effects.

The tendency that RTs were shorter when the presentation eyes were congruent was only marginally significant none of the other interactions were significant [suppression × eye congruency: F (1,54) = 0.01, n.s. ; eye congruency × transition rules: F (2,108) = 0.05, n.s. ; three-way: F (2,108) = 0.003, n.s. ].

Most importantly, the data show at least a trend toward significance for the concreteness by SND interaction term in Experiments 1, 2, and 4 6 .

As with the kindergarten ratings, all parameter estimates in Table 3 for the mother ratings were in the hypothesized direction, and none of the results for teacher ratings approached significance.

Whereas the picture group showed a trend toward a task transfer when tested with objects that were unfamiliar, this effect was not noticeable in the object group.

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.

Although non-final positions had greater mean pitch values than final positions, the effect of string position on mean pitch showed a positive trend but failed to achieve a customary level of statistical significance ( X 2 = 2.80, df = 1, p = 0.09, R 2 = 0.253) 5 .

Examining the results given in Table 3 , we can say that tone 3 digits indeed produced a relatively smaller pitch range expansion in marking prosodic focus, although the difference between tone 2 and tone 3 foci is marginally significant.

In the Framingham Heart Study people whose DHA level was in the top quartile had a highly significant 47% lower risk for developing dementia ( Schaefer et al., 2006 ).
