The transgenic mouse data suggests that increased SK3 function results in diminished cognitive function, consistent with the hypothesized direction, but not the most direct test of whether reduced function improves cognition.
The study shows that the impact of most of the explanatory variables is in line with their hypothesized direction.
Most measures showed statistically significant differences between students in "web" and "comparison" conditions at post-test, but only about half of the differences were in the hypothesized direction.
Different from the high involvement group and the hypothesized direction of the relationship, intrinsic criteria significantly, positively influenced dissatisfaction in the low involvement group (β = .44, t = 3.96, p < .01).01
In terms of the effects of a nonverbal fluency (RFFT performance) measure on systolic blood pressure, main effects were found for trial [F 1,54) = 16.67, p = .000] and anger expression style [F 1,54) = 4.30, p = .04], both in the hypothesized direction.
In one cohort study, the association was against its hypothesized direction [ 143].
The other efficacy scales produced nonsignificant differences, although some were in the hypothesized direction.
No other predictors were significantly associated with improvements in the hypothesized direction.
As such one should be cautious about interpreting associations, particularly those not in the hypothesized direction.
The FIM, which was assessed separately from the IF-Long, was associated with IF-Long scores in the hypothesized direction.
All known predictors of sexual and urinary function were significantly associated with survey responses in the hypothesized direction.
