Example of Lacking Practical Significance
An example of a finding that lacks practical significance is a study where a new treatment for social phobia produces a statistically significant positive effect, but the effect is too weak to justify the time, effort, and costs of implementing it over cheaper, existing treatments. Another example is finding statistically significant gender differences in mathematical problem-solving that are actually so small they are considered trivial in real-world contexts.
