Oh goodness, this gives me flashbacks to my own stint at uni in psychology. *scrubs this comment of multiple bitter, sarcastic asides*
This is an excellent analysis of the honestly many, many problem with that study. The one that I am still stuck on (I read this post on the way to school this morning; it is now nearly bedtime) is that they changed their methodology halfway through. I just. *hands* You can't do that!!! You can't do that and not somehow address that change in the data analysis I - *incoherent yelling*
Anyway, I love the idea that you had to dissect a study like this regularly, and I'd definitely be a delighted reader of any subsequent post like this you'd like to make, but I also very much understand that being rather a work-intensive undertaking.
Anyway, *points at icon in complete and utter lack of patience at the entire field of research psychology at this point*
