> Covariates. We control for covariates that are likely associated with both psychological distress and marital strain including respondent age, education, and employment status (Mirowsky & Ross, 2003), spouse health status (Kiecolt-Glaser & Wilson, 2017), relationship duration (Proulx et al., 2007), and children in household (Mirowsky & Schieman, 2008).
So at least they attempted to account for obvious covariates.
- UncleMeat 3y agoThis is my favorite kind of scientific criticism. People who can't even access a paper just saying "well I bet they didn't control for obvious thing X" and then moving on.
- lostmsu 3y agoThis is my favorite kind of personal attacks. Never have I said "they did not control", but here you are.
- UncleMeat 3y agoNot a personal attack. A criticism of the content of your post.
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 3y ago> Never have I said "they did not control" They didn’t make this claim. > "well I bet they didn't control for obvious thing X" Is a close paraphrase of > if they did not correctly control for kids, it is useless The comment seems to be intended as a dismissal while calling itself out as uninformed (“cannot be accessed without payment” suggests it wasn’t accessed).
- lostmsu 3y agoThey did, but the study does not make the same conclusion as the article you linked. TBH I am not familiar with the the way data is presented in this last link, and likely biased toward my own expectations, but my uneducated read of table 2 says that children, education, being a woman, and employment status are the largest contributors to the distress.
