Finding a significant difference between the dependent variable (DV) scores of experimental and control groups does not necessarily mean the difference is important, profound, due to chance, or due to confounding variables. It simply indicates a statistically significant difference was observed. The significance of this difference in terms of importance, causality, or the influence of other variables requires further analysis and interpretation.
