In psychology, a result is considered significant if it is unlikely to have occurred by chance alone. The convention in psychology is to use a probability threshold of 0.05 (5 times out of 100) as the criterion for statistical significance. Therefore, any result that is unlikely to have occurred by chance alone below this threshold is considered significant.
