“…Finally, group differences not detected in our multiple group statistical models may exist. However, our use of equivalence or “negligible effect” inference tests bolsters the argument that any group differences observed are likely to be practically and statistically negligible (Alter & Counsell, 2021).…”

“…A sample size calculator (Soper, 2022) indicated that our sample size of N = 1032 exceeded the minimum sample size of N = 200 needed to detect a small effect ( z = 0.1; Cohen, 1992) in our structural equation models (i.e., comprised of one latent variable and six manifest variables with a statistical power level of 0.8 and a probability level of 0.05). There are well‐documented limitations of drawing a conclusion of “no group differences” based on nonsignificant results from null hypothesis significant tests (see Alter & Counsell, 2021; Altman & Bland, 1995; Counsell & Cribbie, 2015; Jabbari & Cribbie, 2022). Thus, we also conducted equivalence, or “negligible effect” tests, using the R‐based negligible application (Cribbie et al, 2022) for associations that were significant for at least one group.…”

Interparental conflict and adolescent emotional security across family structures

This study investigated whether interparental conflict was differentially related to forms of emotional security (i.e., family, interparental, parent–child) and whether forms of emotional security were differentially associated with mental health problems for adolescents in married versus divorced/separated families. Participants were 1032 adolescents (ages 10–15; 51% male, 49% female; 82% non‐Hispanic White, 9% Black/African American, 5% Hispanic, 2% Asian or Pacific Islander, 2% Native American) recruited from a public school in a middle‐class suburb of a United States metropolitan area. We used multiple group multivariate path analysis to assess (1) associations between interparental conflict and multiple measures of emotional insecurity (i.e., family, interparental, and parent–child), (2) associations between measures of emotional insecurity and internalizing and externalizing problems, and (3) moderation effects of parent–child relationships. The patterns of association were similar across family structures. A high‐quality parent–child relationship did not mitigate the harmful effects of interparental conflict on emotional insecurity or mental health problems. Findings suggest that regardless of family structure, emotional security across multiple family systems may be a critical target for intervention to prevent youth mental health problems, in addition to interventions that reduce conflict and improve parent–child relationships.

“…Analyses were conducted in R statistical software using the psych package (Revelle, 2014), the performance package (Lüdecke et al, 2021), and the stats package. We used the reg.equiv.fd function for equivalence tests (Alter & Counsell, 2021). For moderation analyses, key variables were centered (focal predictor and moderator) during data processing in SPSS, and their product was computed.…”

Psychology of Addictive Behaviors

Objective: Diagnostic guidelines for compulsive sexual behavior disorder note that moral distress related to sexual behavior is not sufficient to receive the diagnosis. Recent work has questioned the uniqueness of moral distress in predicting self-reported feelings of sexual addiction, demonstrating that other so-called addictive behaviors (e.g., gaming and internet use) are well-predicted by moral disapproval of those behaviors. The present work tested if moral incongruence (the interaction of behavioral frequency and moral disapproval of a behavior) is uniquely related to sexual behavior, or if it generalizes to other addictions as well. Method: This work used a large sample (N = 4,363) involving a representative sample of the U.S. population (n = 2,806) and a sample of sports-wagering individuals in the U.S. (n = 1,557). Interactions between moral disapproval and behavioral frequency were tested for several behaviors (i.e., pornography use, gambling, and several substances). Results: The interaction of behavioral frequency and behavioral disapproval (i.e., moral incongruence) predicted self-reported feelings of addiction to pornography and gambling. Moral incongruence was consistently unrelated to self-reported feelings of addiction to tobacco, illicit substances, and prescription drugs. Results regarding alcohol and marijuana were inconclusive. Conclusions: Moral incongruence is clearly a salient factor in understanding compulsive sexual behavior, and it appears to also be salient to gambling disorder. Though moral incongruence does not seem relevant to some substances (i.e., nicotine, prescription drug misuse, or illicit drug use), further research is needed regarding the effect of moral incongruence on self-reported feelings of addiction to alcohol and marijuana.

“…Equivalence analysis allows for direct inferences to be made about the absence of an effect or the presence of a negligibly small effect. We used the Anderson-Hauck procedure (Anderson & Hauck, 1983) in the reg.equiv function in R (Alter & Counsell, 2021). The Anderson-Hauck procedure has been shown to have greater statistical power than the Two One Sided Test (TOST; Schuirmann, 1987) when comparing regression coefficients at smaller sample sizes (e.g., Alter & Counsell, 2021;Counsell & Cribbie, 2015).…”

Does Mud Always Stick? No Evidence for the Continued Influence of Misinformation on Person Impressions

Despite robust evidence that misinformation continues to influence event-related reasoning after a clear retraction, evidence for the continued influence of misinformation on person impressions is mixed. Across three experiments, we investigated the impact of person-related misinformation and its correction on dynamic (moment-to-moment) impression formation. Participants iteratively formed an impression of a protagonist, “John”, based on a series of behaviour descriptions, including misinformation that was later retracted. Person impressions were recorded after each behaviour description. As predicted, we found a strong effect of information valence on person impressions: negative misinformation had a greater impact on person impressions than positive misinformation (Experiments 1 and 2). Furthermore, in each experiment participants fully discounted the misinformation once retracted, regardless of whether the misinformation was positive or negative. This was true even when the other behaviour descriptions were congruent with (Experiment 2) or causally related to (Experiment 3) the retracted misinformation. Thus, we found no evidence for the continued influence of retracted misinformation on person impressions. Our findings help to address some of the discrepant findings in the literature, suggesting that following a clear retraction, person-related misinformation can be effectively discounted, at least for the scenarios considered in this study.
