This study is not telling you or anyone else that you fit into any category. antigone382 Nov 2013 #43

You are right it's bullshit. An other waste of time study. lumpy Nov 2013 #52

Studies pulled out of ass more likely to favor Republicans. (nt) scarletwoman Nov 2013 #8

The methodology of the study is clearly explained and it doesn't *favor* anyone. antigone382 Nov 2013 #68

Like most republican "studies" WRONG Robyn66 Nov 2013 #12

This is not a "Republican" study. It was conducted by researchers from NYU and University of Kansas. antigone382 Nov 2013 #20

I am glad someone finally noticed this. In fact, tomg Nov 2013 #56

NONE of the families I know with daughters are Repukes. hobbit709 Nov 2013 #13

Absolutely. Anecdotes can *illustrate* evidence. They are not in themselves evidence. n/t antigone382 Nov 2013 #67

Wait, wasn't there a study that said the opposite? mainer Nov 2013 #19

Yes, it's very common in most scientific research for studies to have conflicting results. antigone382 Nov 2013 #26

They found a correlation. Cannot conclude causation without a lot more research. yellowcanine Nov 2013 #37

Those are all good questions, but I don't think the study authors are concluding causation. antigone382 Nov 2013 #44

Authors not concluding causation? Well they did speculate about it, for sure yellowcanine Nov 2013 #55

Well, they took that data set because it was all that was available. antigone382 Nov 2013 #63

"It is pretty standard......" not really. Not without a lot of caveats. I fault the journal also. yellowcanine Nov 2013 #71

After reading the article, I have no clue why they would even publish this crap. Xyzse Nov 2013 #23

Just great. Something else we can blame on women. Glassunion Nov 2013 #24

That's the title of the news article covering a scientific study. antigone382 Nov 2013 #46
