This shit will not replicate. Classic p-value hacking, if not total fiction, dreamt up to pad chum buckets. It is junk science to the core. I'd bet one thousand dollars that another researcher could wrangle contradictory data with a diametrically opposed result.
This trash infotainment has been selected because it is inconsequential to the point of being astrology. No individual can take this "discovery" and apply it to their daily life, but most importantly, it's been selected such that should any moron try it out on their own, they won't be able cause harm. Perfect fodder for the BBC nanny state media.
So... what's your sign?

- zxcmx 7y agoIs this just a general position or do you have concerns with this specific study? I tend to be reflexively skeptical of results like this as well - but I also have a lot of time for results from the Dunedin study. Long-term studies are great and we (society, science) should do more of them.
- chvid 7y agoReminds me of the article about "cancer-prone personalities" finally being classified as junk science which just dropped off the hn frontpage. We really should be more generous with the word bullshit.
- gerbilly 7y agoYour whole post is just an empty argument from authority. Who are you and why should we just believe what you are saying any more then the study?
