The science of opinion ...


Some may find this interesting (it is).

Some may find this threatening (it isn't, it is science).

Some may read it and use it to help them understand the dynamics of internet forums.

This looks like it was published in  an on-line  forum.  As a one-time experimental psychologist I would say that this paper does not meet basic standards for publication because of the lack of documentation of the procedure followed in its experiments.  I could not figure out at all what was actually done to the subjects to get the data. Then the authors cover this up with an elaborate model which seems to be excessive for the basic points it tries to make, which don't really show anything new.  In other words rubbish research.
