Excerpts

Somewhat unexpectedly, there is also research showing a decreasing trend of individualist values in China from 1990 to 2007 ( Santos et al., 2017 ).

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.

Based on the result in Supplementary Table 11 , CG and EG1 have a highly significant difference, CG and EG2 have an extremely significant difference, and EG1 and EG2 have significant differences.

Even if there were no significant differences in the paired t -test, the effect of MS and product category might be significant compared with △M.

Although the above data can be used to determine statistical significance, if it is confirmed that it is practically significant, it can be judged by the verification of the effect quantity.

For the late component, this effect was also observed but barely missed statistical significance.

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 ).

As a novel finding, we observed that participants with a low emotional contagion score demonstrated increased risk aversion during a sad mood and a similar trend at the edge of significance was present in high sensation seekers.

This may be because the younger generation of migrants is more inclined to keep their children around, so that the number of migrant children has shown an increasing trend year by year, which also points out that the number of left-behind children in rural areas is also gradually decreasing ( Charania et al., 2019 ).

With an alpha level of p = 0.10 the results revealed no statistical significance but a weak trend toward the external attentional focus yielding marginally better performance.

In this respect it is noteworthy that in Study 1 the impulsivity scale showed a highly significant positive correlation with the CRT- Intuitive measure as well as highly significant negative correlation with the CRT- Reflective measure and AOT score, suggesting overlapping variance with these measures that might manifest in individual differences in people’s susceptibility to the negative footprint illusion in a higher-powered study.

It is also important to note that borderline significant correlations were obtained between the ability to engage in reflective thought (as measured by the CRT- Reflective score) and the buildings task change score ( r = 0.111, p = 0.053) and the cars task change score ( r = 0.104, p = 0.088).

Associations Between Socio-Moral Reasoning, Empathy and Presence Associations between SMR, empathy and presence were not supported, though the correlations between SMR and empathy showed a trend toward a positive relation and may have been limited by the modest sample size.

Though only marginally significant, ostracized survivors reported experiencing more anxiety and psychoticism symptoms than included survivors.

Infants of mothers reporting high levels of anxiety showed a trend toward lower FM scores (see Figure 1 ).

(2014) reported that there were only marginally significant differences in DS total scores between adult musicians and non-musicians.

The research results are practically significant for teachers in the selection and development of virtual simulation games, can be effectively applied in teaching process management, and can improve students’ engagement and learning performance.

The results found out that trust in the SC platform has a highly significant effect on SC trust.

Studies in recent years have shown that, due to the wide application of information advanced technology in commercial activities, the “untact” buying behavior of the public has already shown an increasing trend before the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak ( Lee et al., 2019 ; Lee and Lee, 2020 ).

This difference is highly significant, with a strong effect, at over 80% of a standard deviation.

For example, several studies have found that smartphone addiction had a moderately significant negative association with extraversion (Shi et al., 2017 ; Xu and Wang, 2018 ; Zhang et al., 2018 ).

The study results also confirmed the highly significant effect of consumers’ perceived pleasure and flow state on subjective well-being.

Does Music Improve Over Time? Moving from general considerations of improvement in aesthetic value, we now consider how concepts of improvement and progress have been deployed in a highly significant area of human aesthetic culture – music.

Trend lines revealed that every subject showed a positive trend with increasing breathing biofeedback scores over time for both A and B phases, except subject 4 who showed no improvement in the B phases (red lines).
