What are your grounds for that belief? jh Send a noteboard - 26/09/2009 04:11:37 PM
Biased Study=biased results


Most likely your conclusion is correct if that was the purpose of the study, especially with pseudo science like psychology, so I am not arguing that point. However, your belief seems somewhat taken out of the air, and I would like you to offer any reason for it beyond "it was conducted by a child and family policy center at some unknown university called Duke".


Then of course, given that media most commonly misrepresent "science", it might not actually have been the real result of the study which is presented in the article... :P

I do believe this study was created to prove the point, not test it. LadyLorraine - 26/09/2009 03:25:54 PM 843 Views
