It is a race to the bottom Roland00 Send a noteboard - 23/10/2018 08:11:39 PM

View original postRather than link to news reports I linked to the actual study. But all the headlines I saw used the same PTSD clickbait as me.

That fact is a lot sadder than the study itself, if you ask me.

Studies shouldn't get news coverage unless there is something news worthy in them, and this news worthy thing is scientifically verified with the best practice.

Yet what happens is 99% of studies do not get news coverage and when they get news coverage it is for "affect" reasons where they sell you something or they challenge you in a way that causes an affect reaction from the reader. And the news writers do not care if the study is using scientific best practices or not.

Truly a race to the bottom.

So is it only the college students who are pathetic? aerocontrols - 23/10/2018 01:14:28 PM 408 Views
apparently this study was focused on college students damookster - 23/10/2018 01:45:35 PM 429 Views

If it helps, I came across an article recently... Legolas - 23/10/2018 06:49:22 PM 437 Views
I'm not sure we do. aerocontrols - 23/10/2018 07:14:46 PM 426 Views

But it did suggest they are more likely to be diagnosed PTSD in the future as a result The Shrike - 23/10/2018 06:51:47 PM 413 Views
And? That would be the case for any kind of 'event-related distress'. Legolas - 23/10/2018 07:08:13 PM 413 Views
Easy target because so many of them are horrible. *NM* The Shrike - 23/10/2018 07:30:05 PM 231 Views
cheap shots at today's college students is the definition of low-hanging fruit *NM* damookster - 23/10/2018 07:51:59 PM 228 Views
