“practically significant”

Statistically and practically significant differences were found between groups for average sprint times, heart rate, and delayed onset muscle soreness.

Unfortunately, inter- and intra-scanner reliability data were not available, making it challenging to determine if the statistically significant FA difference between the cohorts on the non-harmonized data is also practically significant.

A generally accepted rule of thumb is to accept an item with a standardized factor loading of 0.70 ( Fornell and Larcker, 1981 ) with a two-tailed p ≤ 0.05, while a standardized factor loading of 0.50 ( p ≤ 0.05, two-tailed test) is considered practically significant for exploratory research.

It is practically significant to establish a “prediction formula” for the refractive development of the eyeball to control myopia in children and adolescents.

The findings of this research may be both theoretically and practically significant.

Results The results demonstrated statistically and practically significant improvements in the experimental group across all measured parameters.

Therefore, it is of practically significant to develop a suitable preparation process for the fabrication of high-quality and high-performance V–Ti-based solid solution alloys.

Although there was a significant difference in the anxiety level in pre‐ and post‐test in the control group, it does not indicate that this difference is practically significant.

We chose to work with CFP-SpyC, YFP-SpyC, and SpyC as model functional proteins due to the convenience of FRET assays to investigate filament composition, but γPFD-SpyT could be functionalized with any combination of practically significant proteins, including enzyme cascades [ 5 ], and purified in the same manner.

Regarding the ECBI scores, the last three scores during the PDI phase fall out of the clinical range, indicating that a practically significant change in behavior of the child has taken place.

Crucially, these patterns of emotions—arising from appraisals of the situation—stand in relation to the temporal orientation of the emotional focus, and the reasonableness of such practical emotional patterns depend exactly on their past (and expected) reason-giving capabilities: Emotions serve to “mark” practically significant thoughts with bodily (and hence affective) indicators of past experience.

In sum, the findings are both academically and practically significant.

We considered the value of Cohen’s d ≥0.5 to be practically significant.

There was no significant change in the mean SMS score from post-sit to post-walk (mean difference = 4.9 AU [−1.9, 11.8], p = .232, d = 0.31, not a practically significant effect).

This oversimplifies significance decision making as a small p -value does not conclusively mean that the effect is practically significant and only indicates that the observed data are unlikely under the null hypothesis.

These results indicate a strong and practically significant relationship between the predictors and PEB, reinforcing the importance of psychological and experiential variables in fostering environmentally responsible actions.

Interventions were considered promising and moved to full trial if the point estimate of effect was close to recommendations for minimum practically significant effects (i.e. mean difference ≥ 0.41; Ferguson, 2009 ).

Authentically pluralistic and inclusive research that involves collaboration, co-production and dialogue is more likely to occur in situations in which a programme of research is organised around a social goal that is sufficiently broad and practically significant, and whose relevance is sufficiently widely acknowledged to energise the passion, active involvement and passion of individuals and groups beyond the academic community.

Sinharay and Haberman (2014) studied practical significance of model misfit with various empirical data sets and concluded that the misfit was not always practically significant though evidence of misfit for a substantial number of items was demonstrated.

A rule of thumb suggests that a loading (absolute value) ≥ 0.50 is considered practically significant ( 48 ).

Conclusions Practically significant differences in the efficiency of clinical trials in early AD may be realized by the choice of clinical outcome measure and weighting scheme.

A 95% confidence level (α = 0.05) was specified, and an effect size of 0.93 was considered to determine the magnitude of practically significant differences.

This study provided new insight into the personal space management for patients with CLBP, which is practically significant.

There is an ongoing debate about the practical significance of the small effect sizes found in this particular literature (not practically significant: Gervais, 2024 ; practically significant: Stagnaro & Pennycook, 2025 ) and we suggest that richer cognitive models that unpack relationships among intuitive thinking, reflective thinking, and BiG (and other individual differences) need be developed to facilitate interpretation of the practical significance (or lack thereof) of the small, yet strongly supported, associations identified in the current study and earlier studies.

Results were only regarded as statistically and practically significant if White's test resulted in a p -value of greater than 0.05, the p -value of the rate of change in letter frequency was less than 0.05, and the correlation coefficient was greater than 0.30.
