Document Summary
Women talk more than men- they just tested whether intuition or stereotype- did it in different countries there is a descriptive difference- when did statistical test- no difference. They did one sided very powerful test. Theory of narcissism reason as to why the researchers did the research: so they hypothesize- that they would brag more- they want others to recognize them and boost their self-esteem. Internal validity- correlation, causation, so get rid of third variables. Strength: not self-report, two studies so better, got rid of participant bias. Cons: does it actually hurt feels (construct), is it generalizable to all people (external) Esp- most people think it does not exist. Guess which curtain- on right or left- if no such thing as psychic powers then it should be 50-50 shot, but actually people can guess above chance using many different paradigms. Most of the people in the field were extremely surprised.
