This is the key. I can't help but imagine some hyperbole of the advertisement for participants reading some absurd thing like "Are you highly confident in your spiritual strength and have free time to earn $10 / hr?"
- blix 6y agoThe study encodes bias in both participant selection and in the survey questions. I'm not sure why these types of studies are taken seriously. A clever researcher could probably get any result they want.

- pmoriarty 6y ago"Are you highly confident in your spiritual strength and have free time to earn $10 / hr?" Are they participating to earn $10/hr or to help science and understanding of meditation? On the other hand, why can't someone who is confident in their spiritual strength just be poor and actually need the $10/hr?
