1. Small sample, making statistical significance
difficult to assess
It's big enough to get some results. The ones across gender lines are
more questionable.
3. If the questionnaire isn't published,
it's incapable of independent
analysis for bias in the questions asked
It probably is published but not circulated among the general public.
4. Peer-reviewed research by whom?
Whoever does the peer review for CyberPsychology & Behavior I supose.
and that's just for starters. I look forward
to seeing the whole lot,
because I, for one, disbelieve such wide conclusions.
The results are hardly earth shattering as it basically adds up to
"wikipedia is written but people with weak social skills aka nerds"
