q2 i? Bivariate within-person mixed-effects models yielded 21 nominally significant associations (p<.05, uncorrected) out of 243 tests, spanning seven of nine outcomes. → seance-count q2 i? No associations survived Bonferroni or FDR correction; uncorrected findings are reported as hypothesis-generating only. → seance-null

Dictionary-based SEANCE analysis of concern text against nine wearable outcomes in the 458-participant within-person design. The models "yielded 21 nominally significant associations (𝑝<. 05, uncorrected) out of 243 tests (8.6%)". No effect sizes are printed for these associations.

"Bivariate within-person mixed-effects models yielded 21 nominally significant associations (𝑝<. 05, uncorrected) out of 243 tests (8.6%), spanning seven of nine outcomes; no associations survived Bonferroni or FDR correction."

The authors' stated interpretive stance on the corrected null: primary SEANCE features were tested with Bonferroni correction (adjusted α=.0009) and exploratory features with FDR, and "we report all uncorrected associations (𝑝<. 05) as hypothesis-generating findings". Readers are told to interpret accordingly.

"Given the formative nature of this study, we report all uncorrected associations (𝑝<. 05) as hypothesis-generating findings, consistent with the goal of characterizing the signal landscape rather than making confirmatory claims."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Zero-shot classification of concern topics showed no consistent evidence of association with wearable outcomes, while affective dimensions showed more associations that did not survive correction — related
• Forceful, assertive concern language was associated with fewer steps per day and lower moderate-intensity activity, while work-oriented language was positively associated with steps — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Brief naturalistic concern text associates with within-person variation in wearable-derived sleep and physical activity outcomes across a full academic year, even at a median response length of three words — a broader claim this one bears on
• Confirmatory physiological tests found no significant tool×task interactions for pupil Δ or ln RMSSD, with substantial data loss limiting interpretation — related
• Guidance, immediate feedback, and system-directed control showed unadjusted moderator signals that did not survive multiplicity adjustment, making them hypothesis-generating only — related
• Wearable outcomes declined significantly across the academic year, including a 5.2% reduction in RMSSD and roughly 680 fewer steps per day by Week 33 — related
