The University of Georgia’s Communications Department will be finishing collecting data on Saturday, Feb. 28th–just two more days.
Remember, taking this survey only takes about 15 minutes and you will be helping with an important study about narcissistic parents’ communication styles.
By taking the survey, you may also win a $100 gift card! Just answer a few questions at the end of the survey.
Here is the link to take the survey (it’s also at the top of the sidebar).

I took a look at this but did not finish it. My concern with this type of study is that its data is likely to be ungeneralizable, i.e. not applicable to most people with “narcissistic” parents. This is because many people will either not find this long study in the first place, or not finish and submit it. Those who do find and finish it will inevitably be associated with confounding variables, such as a higher level of education, less likely to be in full-time work, etc. In other words the sample is not randomly selected. Thus the data gained will only give information about the small group of people who were most likely to find the study and have the patience to complete it.
I always wonder why researchers do these types of unscientific studies. Maybe they have nothing better to do and their “job” depends on them at least appearing to find out something useful.
Sorry, I am feeling a bit cynical today 🙂 Maybe I am missing the point of this type of study.
I just finished reading Jon Ioannidis’ writing about why most published research is false. It’s noted in these articles:

That’s alright and I understand…thanks for looking into it anyway. Your points may be valid–I haven’t looked into it as deeply as you have.
