That in itself is evidence of their progressive bias.
If academia was dominated by those of the opposite persuasion, this study might conclude with suggestions that individuals who are more suggestible and impulsive are prone to having their malleable minds contorted towards progressive radicalisation.
- wizzwizz4 6y agoIt's also evidence that they're doing science properly. You don't declare causation until you have reason to believe the arrow of causality goes a certain way. You can distinguish between “doing science properly” and “progressive bias” by seeing how the authors treat papers where the conclusion could be spun “progressively” via unscientific conclusion-jumping… of which this is one, I think.
