Specifically, they mention how the term significant is misleading. In 3 experiments, the authors investigated whether statistical language influences readers’ interpretations of research results. For "statistically naïve" college students reading brief research abstracts, the term significant contributed somewhat to an overinterpretation of the results’ importance. But for reading lengthier abstracts and articles, language per se was associated with no negative outcomes. Although the authors argue that "significant" language changes should not be mandated for quantitative research studies in scientific journals, if such changes are mandated, then use of the term statistical is recommended as a straightforward solution to the problem.
