In contrast, the analysis of response criterion scores (c) indicated a more lax criterion was used for emotionally negative items, with corresponding captions being more likely to be endorsed than benign items.
The only significant effect in a similar analysis of response bias scores (c) was for Valence, F 1, 41) = 42.46, p <.001, ηp =.51, with a more lax criterion for emotionally negative items.
The death toll is closer to 100 if laxer criteria are used that do not require confirmation that the journalists were targeted because of their work.
Republicans blame the program's ever-increasing rolls and cost on lax enrollment criteria rather than real need.

In this way, empirical results from x-phi help justify Carnap's lax similarity criterion for explication.
This confirmed the effect of Valence, with a more lax response criterion for endorsing negative items, F 1, 41) = 11.48, p <.002, ηp =.22.
Both main effects remained significant on analysis of image and sentence trials, with a more lax response criterion for negative items, F 1, 50) = 10.86, p<.001, ηp =.18, and for images than for sentences, F 1, 50) = 5.65, p <.05, ηp = 10.
In contrast, negative emotional content was found to be associated with the use of a more lax response criterion, leading us to suggest that this might underlie the greater number of false alarms.
There was also a significant effect of Rating, with a more lax response criterion for items rated for affect, F 1, 41) = 8.52, p <.006, ηp =.17, but there was no significant interaction between Valence and Rating.
