Direct link to the study: https://www.psycnet.org/doi/10.1037/ppm0000672

Unfortunately, its paywalled, but I'd be curious about the methodology and population.

Well it was posted about by psypost which is dogshit and constantly spams headlines like this based off studies with n=25 chinese teenagers, online survey

But then psypost writes a 50 paragraph "blog" post about it like its gospel and never mentions these insane limitations, and almost everybody happily accepts these posts because the headline meets se confirmation bias if theirs, or an expected one at least, then sprints to the comments to blather on and on about it, never even reading the original crappy study

Its all really unscientific but masquerades as scientific fact

I despise psypost and think it should be banned

We cant even verify the methodology or sample size of this one but look at all the commenters in this thread who have seemingly accepted it as valid science

If anyone ends up getting access, I would also be interested in the study.

If you ping me tomorrow, I'll be happy to send it to you when I'm at my computer.

Hi! Just a ping about the article if that's still on the table.

Fun fact, for some papers, if you email an author they are allowed to share it with you.
