Hi everyone,

Apologies if this is a silly question but I am a student and this is my first time using R so I am still trying to educate myself on commands, models e.t.c

I have a mixed model with four dichotomous fixed factors and subject as a random factor (as each person completed four vignettes, with factors crossed across vignettes).

I have run an lmer model and used the Monte Carlo method to see if there are any significant main effects or interactions. However, when I looked at the p values some are showing as significant although the F value is less than 1. Is it possible to have a significant effect with an F value below 1?.

I have a sample size of 150 and have read that the pMCMC values can be anti-conservative so wonder if it is because my sample size may be too small?.

Thank you for any help
