For the same data, null hypothesis and level of significance α, if the conclusion is to reject H0 based on a two-tailed test then we can also reject H0 based on a one-tailed test. Because the corresponding P-value for a one tailed test is half that P-value for a two-tailed test, so if the P-value for a two-tailed test is smaller than a, then the P-value for a one-tailed test will also smaller than α.
